2011 Time Mag 100 Most Influential

[21]

Three from sports, anyone want to guess before looking? (Hint: I had to click on every single name to find all three. Annoying.)

The writers of the bios are just as notable as the list (ie Arnold Schwarzeneggar on the British PM, Rahm Emanuel on Joe Biden, etc).

Yeah, go ahead and guess... You'll be wrong...

 

[dreunc1542]

I would have only even considered guessing one of those three.

 

[Steak Snabler]

I know we're all sick and tired of him, but I'm kinda surprised LeBron James isn't on this list ...

He's not more influential than Kim Clijsters? Really?

My guesses probably would have been LeBron, Pacquiao and maybe one of the soccer players. All of those would have been by default. I don't think any athlete right now should be anywhere near this list.

I love that the Angry Birds creator made the list.

 

[Steak Snabler]

So who's the third athlete? I got Clijsters and Lionel Messi, but no idea on the third ...

Cricket's not a real sport, though.

[terrier]

Our usual range from the ridiculous (Michele Bachmann) to the sublime (Patti Smith).

They should just call it the list of 100 people we'd like to have at the party we're going to throw.

 

[holy bull]

I can't believe I got Lionel Messi. Also thought, 'Watch, it'll be some cricket guy.'

Amy Poehler???

This has become an extended version of People Magazine's 25 Most Fascinating People or whatever it's called that it does at the end of the year.

Fascinating can be easily debated.

How the hell is Amy Poehler influential?

 

[JackReacher]

I'd party with Amy Poehler.

 

[Point of Order]

Heard Joe Scarborough was on the list; decided list was useless.

 

[holy bull]

I'd party with Amy Poehler.

Then I guess you'd be under the influence.

She ensured that Hamlet 2 would indeed be put on. Works for me. ;D

Fantastic.

Unless Michele Bachmann wants to come to my party as a piñata, she can keep the hell out of my neighborhood,with the other brown shirted, jack boot wearing thugs.

It's times like this I miss Fenian B

 

[Starman]

****ing delusional idiocy emblematic of the MSM's celebrity-infatuation with sports and entertainment as fundamentally influential forces in society. They're not.

I love Patti Smith, but she isn't one of the 10,000 most influential people in the world.

Kim Clijsters is a good tennis player, but she isn't one of the 100,000 most influential people in the world.


Perfectly representative of a society which sits slack-jawed on the couch every night masturbating to "Dancing With The Stars."

Lawn had a bad week, Starman?
