a poem by my computer, Macintosh Vigilante
Macintosh amends a damned around the requested typewriter. Macintosh urges a scarce design. Macintosh postulates an autobiography. Macintosh tolls the solo variant. Why does a winter audience delay macintosh? The maker tosses macintosh. Beneath female suffers a double scum. How will a rat cube the heavier cricket? Macintosh calls a method. Can macintosh nest opposite the headache? Macintosh ties the wrong fairy. When can macintosh stem the land gang? Female aborts underneath macintosh. Inside macintosh waffles female. Next to macintosh worries a well.

Managing Editor James Kelly said the three had been chosen as the people most effective at finding ways to eradicate such calamities as malaria in Africa, HIV and AIDS and the grinding poverty that kills 8 million people a year.
Don't you think that's worded wrong? It's the many volunteers ans scientists which will do that. They might be able to help out with the poverty but it's doubtful.

Bono is a fucking moron. His actions cover up the mass stealing of economic strength from Africa by the United States.

I only needed to hear "Vertigo" to realize Bono is a moron. :D

As for BillyG...I think he deserves credit for doing these things, no doubt.  I don't really like how he got the money, but alas - he could've just kept it.

So toadlife, it's hardly Black Sunday. ;)

Yeah, forgot to mention it.  It DOES include bad people.  At that rate, Osama bin Laden should've been the 2001 "winner," but Time chickened out.

The point of it is not to include good people but the people who have affected our lives most. Hitler I think we can agree most certainly did that.

I wonder how much Bill Gates and corporate rock star Bonehead paid Time for that honor. With Google threatening to castrate Gates, anyone could have predicted that the world's richest as*hole would soon cut loose with another blast of charity, with the inevitable accompanying cover story.

I'm just amazed some people still don't see the strings attached to Bill Gates' "donations"...like  "Microsoft Auditorium" in the Seattle Public Library.
