"Yeah, that's it, I'm the 25th most influential person in the world".
How? By whose reckoning? Who the fuck compiled this list? What on earth would it look like?
Here, off the top of my head, is a list of twenty-five people I consider in the running to be in a list of the most influential people in the world, in a rough-and-ready order:
1)Nelson Mandela
2)Kofi Annan
3)Desmond Tutu
4)Bill Clinton
5)George W. Bush
6)Al Gore
7)Tony Blair
8) Colonel Moammar Khadaffi
9)Mahmoud Ahmedinejad
10)Kim Jong-il
11)Osama bin Laden
12) Mahmoud Abbas
13) Hugo Chavez
14) Bill Gates
15) Dominique Villepin
16) Vladimir Putin
17) Boris Berezovsky
18) Hu Jintao
19) Pervez Musharraf
20) (Do we have to?) (Yes, it's him or Bono) (Oh well) Bob Geldof
21) Robert Mugabe
22) Peter Tatchell
23) Rupert Murdoch
24) Donald Trump
25) Junichiro Koizumi
I have Junichiro Koizumi at 25, and he isn't even still the Japanese PM (though TBH I only used Koizumi 'cause I can't remember the name of his successor). Now, where Jade fits in on this list:
11,735) Alan Sugar
11,736) Apple Martin
11,737) The one behind the keyboards in the Pet Shop Boys
11,738) Vincent Kennedy Mcmahon (dammit)
11,739) Louis Theroux
11,740) Grunt Monsoon
11,741) This so-called 'Haus', whoever he is
11,742) Huw Edwards
11,743) The Belgians
11,744) (tie) Jade Goody/ Ai the Chimpanzee
Ai the Chimpanzee, btw, is a chimp who has been taught to count by Japanese scientists. One day, many psychologists feel, training may be brought to bear to allow Jade to replicate this feat. |
