Bizarre Magazine Nominations
What's going on in the world of magazine honours.
Mother Nature is nominated in the list of Time Magazine's person of the year.
And, Jennifer Aniston is GQ's Man of the Year? Aniston apparently earned the honor because she showed a lot of "poise, grace and good humor" during her breakup with Brad Pitt this year. Whoopty-doo. Why does she deserve an honour for nothing? Like there hasn't been a single man who has done something worthwhile in the past year to top that?
I mean, I could understand her being picked if she solved the Middle East conflict in Isreal/Palastine, but handling a fricken break up well in public???
What's next?
Cindy Sheehan as Cosmopolitan's Beautiful Babe of the Year?
Michael Jackson as National Geographic's Unnatural Wonder of the Year?
Perhaps, Michael Brown as Newsweek magazine's Disaster Planner of the Year with Ray Nagin's Honorable Mention in the mayor category?
Or, Scuba Diving magazine could honour the two Carolina Panthers cheerleaders who allegedly had sex in a public bathroom, Angela and Renee, as Muff Divers of the Year.
If not, perhaps Cat & Kittens magazine will take them up as Fiesty Felines of the Year for their bar fight.
Still undefeated, Bill Clinton maintains the title as Cigar Aficionado magazine's Cigar-Use Innovator of the Year.
Got any ideas for other magazine honours out there?
UPDATE: Wizbang makes a case why he thinks Jennifer deserves the top spot.

I'm getting quite tired of "magazine as superlative authority."
I think I'm going to make a list of the top 10 worst "Best Of..." magazine lists.

Jennifer's nomination was of course nothing to do with her being photo'd for the cover with her top bollocks out was it?
