    Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People

    Poll Results

    TIME asked who you thought should be on the list of the 100 most influential people of the year. Over 200 candidates were given a rating of 1 to 100. And your #1 choice? Shigeru Miyamoto! The video game designer had almost 2 million votes, over 300,000 more than runner-up, Rain. After a tight race at the top, Stephen Colbert came in third place with close to 900,000 votes.

    Everyone who didn't vote for Steven Colbert should be rounded up and fed to bears.

    Yeah, I said it and I mean it.

    I wonder how the chose the average rating, because that seems to be the indicator rather than the actual votes by looking at their lists.

    Every time you voted for someone, you got to choose 1-100 when you voted. For example, I voted 100 for Colbert and 1 for Rain. Because who the fuck is Rain? (yeah, I know who he is, but how is he in the least bit important?)

    Another suprising one:

    146 Miley Cyrus

    I expected her to be higher due to her control over the Disney Channel and their minions. But then again, how many kids are familiar with Time Magazine?

    I have no idea who Rain is.

    Stewart > Colbert. Always and forever.

    I think you meant if you're voted a lower number you'll get lower rank and if you average a higher number you get a higher rank? I think I'm reading your post backwards or you made a mistake while typing it.

    Rain is some South Korean singer/dancer/actor. A TRIPLE THREAT!
