In 2006 Time magazine named “You” their “Person of the Year”, you being content creator for crazy YouTube viral videos — basically. Given that the ” Bank of America” middle manager who belted out a version of U2’s “One” for a celebration of financial corporation mergers and “choice” in what sports franchise to put on your credit card came from that y<\/a>ear, that means he is right in the center of the storm and more of whom Time magazine had in mind for their emblematic person than anyone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
