Worst Person of the Year 2013
While TIME Magazine's editors deliberate on who their Person of the Year should be (and the public votes on who they think it should be), we take a look at the other end of the spectrum and determine who the Worst Person of the Year should be. These candidates all made it to TIME's Person of the Year shortlist, but shouldn't get the prize because they're evil, they're a flash in the pan, or they're simply a joke. Choose the one that you think least deserves the Person of the Year prize and instead should get the title of Worst Person of the Year.
