Person of the Year 2011

I came across this a few weeks ago, but it seems like I didn't write about it.

Every year Time Magazine hand out a "Person of the Year" award.

It is given to the person who "has most influenced the news" over the past year.

Given this year's events, there can only really be one winner: Mohammad Al Bouazizi AKA the Tunisian guy who set himself on fire last December.

This led to the Tunisians overthrowing their dictator, as well as causing revolutions in other Middle Eastern & North African countries.

This has obviously been the biggest news event of the year.

Everyone should vote for him and hopefully Time will do the right thing.
