4Chan VS Time Magazine

In 2012, Time Magazine held an online poll, and users on 4Chan had the perfect opportunity to tamper with the results, but this time, they would be absolutely ruthless.

Time Magazine’s poll would be open-ended, letting the internet submit and vote on who would be displayed in the 2012 edition of the magazine.

But the problem was, who would 4Chan choose? Threads would quickly begin opening up all over /b/, but one in particular would garner the most attention.

>we're going to let the internet decide!
*internet decides*

[Kirmet_Frog]

At least it wasn’t as bad as Dub The Dew

[Jotillit]

4chan has the power to bring world peace but decides to troll the internet instead

honestly that wouldn't have been that insane considering hitler was chosen as the man of the year in 1938 (yeah i get you don't need to be exactly good or wtv to be in there)

Bro fr said hackers and algorithms when literally all they did is make a simple bot
It ain't that complicated

[RonaldTrumpOfficial]

I swear, 4chan users are literally the unemployed friend. Always with things in the most comical way possible.

[PSYOP_STEVE]

I really thought it was going to be the funny mustache man who goes by the name of Hitler

[xpm]

This man had misspelled Kim Jong Un.

Calling people who make scripts to spam vote “hackers” is giving them WAY too much credit

[JoeRogansForehead]

“Their hackers”

Quick call the 4 Chan hackers I need an algorithm .

You sound like my grandma after she sees the guy in a hooded sweatshirt at a computer on the identity theft commercials

[grizzlydino]

I like how when a company does a online poll about anything, 4Chan will make the top result either about Kim John Un or the bad Austrian guy

[grandmaster]

I’m not sure this guy knows what an algorithm is 😭

Putting Kim Jong-Un on the cover isn't as bad as the 1938 cover 💀
