We imagine that Shigeru Miyamoto, creator of some of the most recognizable intellectual properties on the planet, doesn't like coming in second place -- let alone ninety-second place. Unfortunately for the banjo-plucking game designer, that was the case in last year's Time 100 list, when Shiggy, sandwiched between the world's fifth richest man and the author of "The Secret", nearly didn't make the cut. Though his pride was surely bruised, Miyamoto wasn't discouraged by the low ranking -- he merely stepped up his game, providing oversight for some of last year's best-selling Wii titles.Perhaps that's why he's been nominated for the 2008 Time 100 list, where dedicated Nintendo fanboys have pushed the eccentric designer to number 27 -- somewhere between Michael Cera and Oprah. Your votes can help propel the father of modern video gaming to the top of the list, a position currently held by a certain precipitationally-named Korean pop star. Unless, of course, you're anti-Shiggy -- but who could you say "no" to that adorable face?

...still...if nothing else, we should all band together and knock this Rain douche off the number 1 spot.
Seriously...WTF is up with that?
That's so sad.
I wouldn't vote for a sexy South Korean pop singer in an online poll. What kind of guy do you think I am?

Putin restricts freedom in Russia, Miley enslaves the hearts and minds of America's youth
However, the fall of liberties in that nation is undeniable, and it gives great misgiving
Makes you wonder if Medvedev will be any better
A reborn Soviet union allied with China would not be a good thing for anyone
The fact that you like someone makes that someone influential because in a way they can use you, and at the moment, yes Putin has a higher impact, but seriously, I can assure you that 90% of the US population knows who Hannah Montana is (going beyond what the Britney Spears craze created), making her REALLY influential...unfortunately....

But yeah, mostly no wrong
Mario's more whored out than Star Fox as well. Sadly, Sonic's also getting there.
Personally, i liked them all except Adventures itself, so i'm not complaining
Whatever hope I had for humanity is gone now.
