Not the first time they chose a group of people as the "person" of the year either.

You forgot a few:
Lyndon B. Johnson, 1964,1967 almost single handedly got the US into the Vietnam War
Richard Nixon, 1971 started the war on drugs (EPIC FAIL) also helped usher the US into Capitalized Medicine
American Women, 1975, again, the issue of plurality vs. singular
Ayatollah Khomeni, 1979, do I really need an explanation?
The Computer, 1982, not even a specific model, just "The Computer"
Then, proving my point, in 1988, they chose The Endangered Earth, but as Planet of the Year, not person, but planet.
1995, belongs to Newt Gingrich. Sigh....
2004, George W. Bush, now if this was awarded for making up words, then it is wholeheartedly deserved.
2011, The Protester, again reaffirming my point that someone at Time Magazine understands the difference between the terms plural and singular.
