Malala Yousefzai was the first one that came to my mind, as well.

According to the Time poll, Kim Jong-Un will be Person of the Year but Time has stated that the poll does not influence their choice which will be published next week. Malala only ranked 15 in the poll followed by Psy at 17?

Why is Kim Jong-Un considered influential? My impression of him is as more of a puppet than a true leader.

And their choice is Barack Obama ... he can't seem to lose for winning this year. He should buy a lottery ticket with that kind of winning streak!
