TIME MAGAZINE FUCKED UP
TIME Magazine’s Most Influential Person of The Year is: moot. The guy that started 4chan (link NSFW or anyone who retains any sense of innocence). Seriously.
The 21-year-old college student and founder of the online community 4chan.org, whose real name is Christopher Poole, received 16,794,368 votes and an average influence rating of 90 (out of a possible 100) to handily beat the likes of Barack Obama, Vladimir Putin and Oprah Winfrey. To put the magnitude of the upset in perspective, it’s worth noting that everyone Moot beat out actually has a job
Except–oh wait–4chan hacked the fuck out of the poll.
Observe:
Shit, we just lost the game.
Did TIME notice such an obvious hack? Let’s investigate.
While Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao got a larger vote total (20,391,818), the runner-up for the title of world’s most influential person, Malaysian politician Anwar Ibrahim, received a mere 47 on the influence scale … TIME.com’s technical team did detect and extinguish several attempts to hack the vote.
Anwar Ibrahim is being recognized as the runner-up and TIME thinks they retained some sense of poll-related integrity. Lulz achieved.
TIME Magazine:
YOU FUCKED UP!
If you aspire to be next year’s most influentual person, you can see how they hacked it here.
You Fucked Up 
oh lawd
It wasn’t hacked. Having people vote isn’t hacking.
Using a script to automatically vote thousands of time, however, is hacking. Idiot.
robots steal my every bike.
easy peasy if you use a botnet.
maybe YOU are a part of the Botnet, who knows?
pretty sure there was no automatic thing involved.
It’s just that…anon is legion.
Yeah pretty much, you’re talking about thousands of neckbeards who have nothing better to do with their time but this. AND IT IS AWESOME :3
Fuck him! Ian McKaye is the only influential person in the world! Don’t know him? Google him. He’ll change your life.
