Miley Cyrus has more votes than Edward Snowden. How can that be?

Is that an honest question?

You realise that almost no-one gives a fuck about Snowden, right? Most people really just don't care.

The Guardian newspaper has (if we're generous) a circulation of 250,000 people.

The (untrustworthy) numbers of the MileyCyrusVEVO "Wrecking Ball" video are 352,117,848 views.

Poll 2010: http://content.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,288... And then it became: http://content.time.com/time/person-of-the-year/2010/ So probably this year it will be Miley Cyrus...

Currently (and thankfully) Edward Snowden has 10x more votes than Miley Cyrus

Update, Cyrus is now ahead of Snowden with a comfortable lead.

The Time magazine chooses ultimately, it is only influenced by the voting.

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan got a lot of positive votes. I imagine he doesn't have same support after Gezi.

I do not support Recep Tayyip but, due to a reason which I do not know yet, the people of Turkey loves and believes him. Also we need to accept that, he is a strong man. To fix the economy, whole strategic companies have been sold. The power of military has been taken down. Also, the turkish companies and people are not supported by government.
