Time 2011 Person of the Year - The Protester
Time's 2011 Person of the Year is: The Protester.
I protest! I am now Time's Person of the Year. Yay!
Another vague choice from Time, just like in 2006 when they chose you -- yes, you.
Kate Middleton was a runner-up for the honor this year.
From Time:
No one could have known that when a Tunisian fruit vendor set himself on fire in a public square, it would incite protests that would topple dictators and start a global wave of dissent. In 2011, protesters didn’t just voice their complaints; they changed the world.
