Funny; I told an exuberant JoanneMichele 2 weeks ago not to get so excited, because that this vote would end up being just like one of those Playboy Playmate of the Year votes. A million-or-two readers vote, and then Hef throws all the votes out and just decides himself.

Those 573,561 votes were great, until you realized that the Time Editor-In-Chief had 573,562 votes.

SepSep I’m not sure if you read the whole article that I wrote, but I explicitly addressed the little disclaimer they made about reserving the right to disagree.

It seems some people are not clear on the point of the article. The main point is this: Why did TIME bother holding a vote on the matter if they are going to COMPLETELY ignore the vote?

And that is exactly what TIME did when they created a new short-list AFTER the online vote that Iranian Protesters knocked out of the ballpark.

At least they could have reasoned along the lines of, “okay, our online poll shows Iranian Protesters getting the most votes by a wide margin, so at least we can put them in the short-list for final evaluation.” Instead, they not only ignored the vote they they held on the matter, but they even included a candidate that was NOT IN THE ORIGINAL LIST in their own vote! Chinese Workers… What’s that about?

If you don’t understand how bizarre it is to hold an online vote, then blatantly disregard the results of that vote when short-listing candiates by essentially cutting the group that was ahead of the next highest candidate by a margin of 5 to 1, I can’t help you.

Why do you get excited so fast? You should read the title first before voting:

“Take a look at the candidates and give them your rating — though TIME’s editors reserve the right to disagree”
