How exactly does this work? Does Time pick 100 of the most influential people, and then this online voting thing is just extra influential people? I’m not sure I understand. Because that first year Stephen was part of it, wasn’t he actually chosen by Time and was on the cover, with no online voting involved? I just don’t get what the whole online voting thing is for. Like when Rain won the online voting poll last year, did they put him on the cover? I am clearly confused.

Either way, people are voting Stephen down, and it’s pissing me off more than it probably should. lol.

*gulps* I went to 4chan once… a friend gave me a link to an argument that took place between them and an acquaintance of ours… may she rest in peace.

Here’s hoping Jon and Stephen get 2nd and third, since I’m sure any day now moot’s will mysteriously go over 1 billion. And I highly doubt anyone is listening to anything Britney Spears says. Why is she on that list?

I think groups of people are voting Stephen down. His average rating this morning was 45 and now it’s down to 38. :(

I can go for some more voting…worth a few minutes of my Time everyday (forgive the pun) Besides, I’d be quite embarrassed to let Stephen get beaten by “The View.” It is kind of pathetic that America’s first black president is so far down the list >->

I still bust up when I think of the post on here telling that Rain’s fans are “clouds.” So corny. I met a Korean girl when I went to the inauguration and she told me all about Rain and how in Korea he’s called “Pi” or something. The “p” is somewhere between a “p” sound and a “b” sound, sort of a soft “p”, and since the Japanese can’t say it correctly, they just run around screaming “PEE PEE PEE!!”

Oh, god, it’s that time again?

I think I’ll be sitting the battle out this year. And the rest of forever.

added: I just looked over the Time 100 list, and I have to declare it one big joke, and a joke with very little hope of redemption. Most of the names are jokes (Britney Spears?), the ratings are laughable, and the winners will almost certainly be rigged/hacked by fanatics (Colbertists excepted).

Time needs to institute registration for votes, otherwise the whole exercise is a waste of time. (pun unintended)

If I only had one vote, I would have to give it to Jon Stewart… I think he has the momentum right now.
Please don’t hack me, fellow Colbert Completists! I voted for Colbert too.

whew–with 4chan and the Clouds up against us, it’s unwinnable, especially now that the Clouds have all our hacks.

Time argues that Stephen’s cameo in The Love Guru is the con. Ha! They just made a big mistake.

Oh no! It looks like we will have to battle it out with Rain’s fans, the Clouds, again. Rain is now beating Stephen in the online poll. RAAAIIIINNN!!!!
