Time reveals its 100 Most Influential People, Shigeru Miyamoto slips to 42nd **UPDATE** |
Ó
Like they say, once you're at the top, there's nowhere to go but down.
In Shigeru Miyamoto's case, he went down quite a bit. After being at
the top of Time 100 last year, the Nintendo gaming
mastermind drops to #42 of Time Magazine's list of the 100 most influential
people from various fields and industries. So who else made it to the list?With a dominating vote count of 16,794,368, the unnamed founder of the community website 4chan, "moot," takes the top spot. Coming at a very distant second is Malaysian Democratic icon, Anwar Ibrahim with 2,316,378 votes.
Other popular names on that list include Kobe Bryant at #9, Li'l Wayne at #12, Tina Fey at #15, and Pound-for-Pound champ Manny Pacquiao at #22. Barrack Obama is at #37, while Sarah Palin makes it to #81, which is funny because I seriously don't believe she's more influential than #89 Steve Jobs.
Shigure Miyamoto comes in at #42 with 614,641 votes, right below Disney pop princess Miley Cyrus at #41. Yes, Miley Cyrus is apparently more influential than Miyamoto. Funny as it sounds, it could be true, with all the exposure that Disney is giving "Hannah Montanna" who also has her own video game.
Who would you put at the top of your list?
**UPDATE**
If you read the first letters of #1-22, it says, "Marble Cake also The Game."
The list was hacked, and thus, the list ain't legit. We'll keep you posted on the real list if it comes out.
As for most influential games:

"moot", not "woot".
marble cake also the game
The pool was hijacked by Marble Cake, if you read the first letter of every person from 1 to 25 you can spell "Marble Cake, also THE GAME".
Are you honestly surprised Miley Cyrus scored higher than Miyamoto? The list is for how INFLUENTIAL the person is, not how much respect you have for them, or even how much you like them. If you asked 100 random people on the street who Miyamoto is, you would get a hell of a lot less that those who know who Miley Cyrus is. She is clearly more INFLUENTIAL on people's lives (especially teenage girls).

So yeah... THE GAME
btw im banned 60 days from 4chan for posting as =^_^= Furry =^_^=!j5bbaJ/5hM. >_>
"it could be true, with all the exposure that Disney is giving "Hannah Montanna"
i accepted that she was..
and besides, popularity is not influence ^^
miyamoto has been influencing people through his games for a long time without people realizing who he is..
LOL it looks like a hoax because thats just too perfect. but moot would be one of the most influential people of recent years IMO.
But I'd say someone has forced the poll to spell out something they wanted either by bot or a more nefarious mean of hacking the actual site.
I'm surprised Time haven't done something like take it down for example.

As soon as I saw moot as #1 I knew it had to be a fake. But it's still plausible given the userbase of 4chan...
I mean most of the people shouldn't even be up there anyways. The amount of people on there that really don't deserve it is astounding.
I'm not a fan of Eminem(or Marshall Mathers,) but you could honestly say someone like that is influential, taking rap music, keeping it the same, but really turning it in a different direction. When he was really big other people that weren't black started to try to get into the rap business because since Vanilla Ice, no one else attempted and if they did it was an extremely low profile group(this is not meant to be any sortof racial gesture.)
How about Thomas Edison. Practically made the lightbulb and we have different types, sizes, etc, made by many different companies.
I could name off a bunch of other people, but yeah. This list here is just *****ing retarded. Let's just throw a ton of extremely well known people, mostly overpaid actors or government officials, only a small number of them actually influential in the least compared to a ton of others who could be named.
Honestly, Uwe Boll is more of an influence than most of the people on this list. Sure his movies suck ass, but he's got a passion for developing movies from video games. Something that's been becoming more and more frequent.
Kobe Bryant influenced me to sleep with unattractive white women! I hope fanboys aren't seriously upset that Miyamoto got beat outta 41 by Miley Cyrus. She's influenced me by adding her to my list of celebs I'd like to nail, next to Amanda Bynes. What's Miyamoto done besides inspire fanboys not to bathe? lol I'm happy Lil Wayne is 12, at least I can say his music is great during intercourse. :)
and how much of that userbase do you think actually likes moot?
I can say without a doubt that the people that voted moot to the top are also the people that made the list say that. Still you can't deny the moot is influential if he got people to spend their time doing this without saying a word (he probably doesn't care himself). I wonder if Time will do an interview and put him on the cover as some kind of internet "genius"/madman/peddler of unsavory goods.
Miyamoto is highly influential sure, but personally I haven't enjoyed much of his stuff since the SNES game Yoshi's Island (pretty much what I refer to as the last true classic Nintendo game). Pretty much everything else he's done after has not entertained me at all.

You're disregarding Ocarina of Time, Mario 64, Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime, Smash Bros Brawl and Melee?
That's quite hilarious.
Maybe he has just more fun with 2D games? There are actually quite a few people wo have problems with 3D games.
How much of that userbase isn't porn-addicts/chronic masturbators with unusual fetishes? lol
"You're disregarding Ocarina of Time, Mario 64, Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime, Smash Bros Brawl and Melee? That's quite hilarious."
Those games are a joke so I find it funny too. Seriously, while I'm not doubting those games can be fun. Why is it SO HARD to believe that when a dude's nuts drop, he actually loses all interest in Ninty games and his tastes have matured? I loved Mario 64 but I was a pre-teen in those days, I'm not saying that those games can't be enjoyed by an older audience. But why does every Ninty fanboy act like it's blasphemy to not enjoy a Nintendo game? Not calling you a fanboy, but keep in mind not everyone jizzes in their shorts for new Ninty games.
