Time Magazine Gets /b/tarded
4chans Moot the worlds most influential person?

In what has got to be some kind of elaborate prank, “The 2009 Time 100” appears to be having it’s ass handed to it by Anonymous, who have put 4chan’s Moot (real name Christopher Poole) in the lead by a significant margin. |
Not even just a few thousand, or even a few tens of thousands, but nearly 15 million votes in the lead. To put this in perspective, President Barack Obama only has around 750,000 votes, next to Moot’s 16.8 million. That’s how many Chans there are out there.
The world is doomed.
If you don’t know what 4chan is, you’re probably a housewife or something and should just keep it that way. One look at /b/ could potentially make you spend the rest of your life rolling on the floor, clawing at your eyes and screaming “MAKE ME UNSEE IT!” While /b/ has given us such wonders as LOL cats, Mudkips, Raptor Jesus and Rick Rolling, it has also burdened us with Goatse, fursuiters, trannys, Pedo Bear and many other horrors. If you’re curious how Internet memes are made, by all means, go to 4chan.org/b/ and see for yourself, but be warned, it is incredibly NSFW and essentially boils down to an occasional act of genius floating like a turd in a cesspool of trolling, racist, perverted, twisted little fuckwits.
This screen cap just about sums it up rather succintly.
