Grubbykid.com Accepts Time Magazine's Person of the Year honors
NEW YORK, NY – Grubbykid.com, the New York City-based blog, announced today they are accepting Time Magazine's Person of the Year honors on behalf of the Internets. It is quite an honor to be lauded by the same magazine who selected George W. Bush (twice), Newt Gingrich, Deng Xiaoping, and Hitler as people of the year. I hope we can live up to the high expectations Time has placed at our feet.
AOL user Andy Sizemore, had this to say: THANK U V3RY MUCH FROM DA BOTOM OF MAH HEART!1!!!1 OMG I ACAPT THES AWARD WIT MUCH GRATITUDA AND SINCERITY!1!!1 OMG MAY WE WORK 2WARD A NU DAWN OF HUMAN INT3RACTION !!11!1111 LOL!
Time Magazine has chosen a man, woman, or idea (list) that for better or worse, has most influenced events in the preceding year.
Though Time's list is not an academic or objective study of the past, the list gives a contemporary viewpoint of what was important during each year. Time Magazine is owned by Time Warner and is published worldwide.

I also accept this award. I would like to first thank, of course, God, for blessing me to be able to surf the internet. I'd like to thank my parents for always supporting me, and my friends for always believing in me. Looking at porn and watching videos of preachers farting finally paid off!

While I like the internets and all, there were more provocative choices Time could have made, which would have encouraged me to read the article.

I am declining TIME's award in order to make a statment: WHAT ABOUT ME?
YOU should not be allowed to overshadow the most important and impactful person this year: ME.
