Whoops...

You already know how I feel about the Time Magazine Person of the Year. What you may not know is how Chrysler, the company who shed pretty big bucks to be this year's sole sponsor of the feature, feels. [hat tip to radosh.net]

I can only imagine the sinking feeling the adman (adlady) who came up with the following tagline must have felt when the "name" was announced:


"You might not be Time Person of the Year. But you can drive like you are."




Oh, but I am, Chrysler. But I am...

Self-fulfilling prophecy. Nobody drives Chryslers anyway.

OMG. That is unbelievable. It's like The Gift of the Magi, but focusing on clusterfuckism instead of love.

Ha! BB, I think that was the perfect comment...

That's hilarious. On a side note, I used to drive a Chrysler until a streetcar plowed into the side of it when I ran a stop sign in New Orleans. But hey, I was driving like I was man of the year. Way ahead of my time.

Ii heard that song playing at a bar today, it made me said in thirty-six point font because I realized that not only did that person make more money than me... he was also Time Magazine's man of the year.

Holy crap, still a little tipsy I think. Here's how my comment SHOULD read...

We see the world through the eyes of revisionist historians.
