The latest Time magazine. What happened to us that we have a rapper married to a porn actress as major celebrities and in his case to be featured among the 100 most "influential" people on the cover of TIME??

Unfortunately we don't have a barf/puke emoticon (at least not one that I could find). I had to import my own.

Good for Kanye, no less deserving than some other morally corrupt people that have graced the cover including presidents and celebs. He nor his mrs have in anyway influence me or my life, but, I do like his music. :)
 

Wonder what criteria Time uses to characterize an "influential person" ? Talented or not, I surely hope that his recent behavior is not an example. By definition...in the music world, I think that someone like Pharrell Williams has touched and influenced far more people.

Well, okay, I did like "Golddigger" (with Jamie Fox).
But "influential"? nah.

Me too, very catchy tune. LOL! I guess you have to ask the other generation as to whether they feel he's been influential, many of them believe so, but, then, who influence other generations and who and in what ways. Kanye definitely has a large footprint in the music industry as well as Kim in the fashion and other areas that some of the younger people are interested in. There's very few under the age of 30 who don't know these people and regardless of how some view their sex or other past experiences, they've touched lives of many young people causing them to want to be more ambitious in good ways, not all good ways, but mostly from what I've seen, it's more of a if they can do it, why can't I aim higher attitude I'm not talking of the materialistic aim, but to not be lax and sit around waiting for others to climb the mountain for you..

I didn't pick Loretta Lynch because she had a catchy name. I picked because she's a very remarkable woman who deserves to be on the list.

Uh huh, what about the other question of political correctness, I'm still not understanding what was the point of saying it as it applies in this choice of cover?
 
Okay, I looked up Loretta Lynch - might become Atty Gen. (I thought Josiah was referring to singer Loretta Lynn, Coal Miner's daugher) :lofl:

Thanks SB - I've seen her but the name escaped me.

I am sorry anyone took this as anything more than my opinion of influential. Neither he or his wife are the least bit important in the scheme of things. If anyone thinks my intention was racially motivated, I can only say, No freakin way! Play it forward, backward or any way you want it still ends up one mans opinion. This is everyone here's first view of a AZ Jim comment on a Time cover. I wasn't here for last years.

Jim, I know where your heart is, no way did I think such a thing. You never mentioned anything of the like, you just don't like the pair, we don't see eye to eye on those two people, not a big deal, but never would I think you were making this about race.

PS, I agree, nothing all that important about it, I don't even read the magazine anymore since the digital age. I read it if its one of the only choice in the doctor's waiting area though and definitely over any sport mag. :D

I agree with you Jim, he shouldn't have been on the cover. I just think of him as Kim Kardashian's boyfriend, and I have no respect for either of them, and I do not have any interest in his music either. All that sticks in my mind when I hear his name or see his face, is that he's a self-centered, aggressive jerk that is so selfish that he cares only about his own interests and doesn't give a damn about raining on anyone's else's parade and ruining their big moment. He's at the bottom of my list of influential people, that's for sure.
