A time when all news organizations choose to recap the year giving you the "Best" "Most Intriguing" "Top Ten" of 2010. We see it every year from media giants like Times "Person of the Year", People's "Sexist Man Alive 2010," Fortune's "Fortune 500," even CNN's "Year in Review" or "Most Intriguing Person." We even see the list go international with Al Jazeera's (English) "The Al Jazeera Top 10 of The Year."
The "list phenom" has even gone religious with Top 10 Christian Stories and The Top Ten Most Intriguing Muslim Stories of the Year -- 2010!
So what's to be said of all these lists? Some have stirred up controversy, such as Time's "Person of the Year" in which Facebook founder and head honcho Mark Zuckerberg was chosen over others like Julian Assange, the founder and leader of Wikileaks. Others have created a anger as Walmart tops the Fortune 500 even through the past economic recession. These recaps and awards can remind us of things that seemed to have happened years ago such as the eruption of a volcano in Iceland (one which I won't bother spelling out). However, it is always fun to watch people fail at it, take a look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jq-sMZtSww
