Every year, Time picks their Person of the Year (formerly known as Man of the Year until they got beat down by the PC Police) who has had a major impact on the world over the past 12 months, and this year, they totally copped out. This is a half-assed attempt to address the fact that ordinary average citizens are contributing more and more to the global conciousness through blogs, MySpace pages, and photo and video-sharing (on sites like YouTube, which anyone with a tiny level of awareness will recognize on the screen of the iMac on Time's cover).Personally, I'm not sure how much the majority of bloggers and YouTubers are contributing to the greater good of the world (seriously, how many more people do we need talking about music and movies?), but all this "user-generated content" has opened a lot of doors to a lot of good music and funny videos that were previously tough to find before we could all just email them to each other. Once again, the Internet has leapt forward by providing us with more ways to waste time.
On the other hand, some things are worth the time. Here are two particularly funny videos I've come across recently. The second one is most definitely NSFW.
