Tim Cook Nominated for TIME's 2014 Person of the Year

[bradl]

Putin as man of the year yet he almost started WWIII! Seriously - the person of the year for someone who almost cooked us?

We saw what you did there.

BL.

What's with all the Putin Hatin? He's doing everything I would do if I was the leader of Russia and NATO was slowly surrounding my country. His behavior is very rational.

Hitler was also a Man of the Year, as was Khomeini.

 

[nebo1ss]

What a terrible list I rather give it to Edward Snowden.

 

[Macboy Pro]

Roger Goodell? The Washington R******s, and the Adrian Petersen and Ray Rice abuses obliterated any character and credibility he or the NFL ever had.

TIME shouldn't have even taken the time (pun intended) to consider him.

BL.

LOL, the Redskins? What do they have to do with Goodell?

 

[Glideslope]

Vladimir Putin?

TIME, please.

Ureic Journalism at best.

Looking back at a few of the more recent winners: Obama, Zuckerberg, Bernanke, Putin, G.W. Bush, Bezos, Pope JP, Clinton, Ted Turner, Daddy Bush—it's like a who's who of morons and ***holes.

I, for one, hope that Tim Cook doesn't win.

Remember that year Time put some mirrored foil on the cover and the "Person of the Year" was you? That was deservedly mocked far and wide and was about the time I stopped reading that rag.

Wow. Too many Starbucks. LOL

 

[palmerc2]

That has to be the worst list of nominees, especially the ferguson "protestors". Seriously?!?!

These are all terrible choices. Taylor Swift, hahaha. Putin??

 

[aaronvan]

Wow. Too many Starbucks. LOL

Too much vodka.

 

[jontech]

By thier own criteria Putin should win hands down as the most influential person this year

 

[Peace]

For levity's sake.

Hitler was Person of the year also in 1938.

I think it was called Man of the year in the 1930's.

 

[goobot]

Tim looks so dissatisfied in that picture XD

 

[Jsameds]

That list - what a joke, seriously.

 

[Glassed Silver]

Guys, this is not an approval rating.
This is just to reflect on the significance on certain people.
Sometimes beyond their field of work.
(Cook)

Sometimes due to their influence on politics and how countries might once look like.
(Putin)

This is not your high school's class president voting.

Glassed Silver:mac

 

[the-msa]

i sense that a lot of people here dont know the purpose of this list

 

[bradl]

That list - what a joke, seriously.

Not to defend the list, because I also think they could have done better...

.. but who would be on your list for Person of the Year? In short, you're not happy with what they have - could you post better? I'd love to see what others have in mind for the award.

BL.

 

[Yojimbo007]

Roger Goodell. .????

 

[IJ Reilly]

Vladimir Putin?

TIME, please.

Not sure if this means no or yes, but Putin was (of that bunch anyway) clearly the most influential person in the world in 2014.

Taylor Swift? Like, OMG really.

 

[Rogifan]

Being gay in a world where gays and lesbians are still persecuted or killed for who and what they are is sure as hell a big deal. And for someone who the head of one of the biggest companies in the world to come out as gay is a big deal. That gives others hope that it can and will get better.

BL.

Tim Cook coming out was not the most important event 2014.

 

[Peace]

Have a look over past "winners. There's some real doozies.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Person_of_the_Year

Putin was named person of the year twice before in 2007 and 2012.

 

[IJ Reilly]

Tim Cook coming out was not the most important event 2014.

Probably not even for Tim Cook.

 

[Asclepio]
