I thought it would be Kim Jung Un's year for it.

Just like when he got the Nobel Peace prize. WHOOPIEFREAKINGDO !!! What a waste of everybody's time.

It's eerily similar in that, in both cases, the Nobel and the Time thing, are based on his having won an election. In the case of the Nobel, he was given credit for inspiring hope for broader world peace (before escalating the war in Afghanistan). In this case he is given credit for tapping a new electoral demographic model successfully.
