4chan once again hacks the Time PoTY vote, spells out “KJU GASCHAMBER” with the results

Last year, 4chan voters/hackers rigged the vote for Time’s Influential Person of the Year, putting 4chan founder “moot” on top and spelling out the phrase “MARBLECAKE ALSO THE GAME” with the first letters of the names of the choices. This year, they put North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in the number one spot, using the rest of the names to spell out “KJU GASCHAMBER”.

Once again, 4chan is trolling Time’s Person of the Year voting

While the official ‘Person of the Year’ honor is an editorial one on the part of Time Magazine, for the last couple years they’ve been running an end of the year online poll to see who their readers think should be Person of the Year. And for the last couple years, 4chan has flexed their online influence to push the voting to their liking. And this year, they like Kim John Un. And who doesn’t, what with that gorgeous hair?

Back in the 1980s, if you subscribed to Time Magazine, you’d get this amazing piece of technology

If only I had a phone with an address book built in. No, shut up. That’s crazy future talk.

How to tell the difference between your friends and a Jap

IHCer Lexi sent me this scan from her sociology textbook. It’s a reproduction of a blurb from Time Magazine from 1941 on how to tell the difference between Chinese (good) and Japs (oooh bad).

Note how in the first paragraph, the writer pretty much acknowledges that this is complete bullshit, but if it made some people in 1941 feel better… it’s still sort of messed up.
