Time Magazine is gathering votes to figure out who should be on their list of 'Most Influential People.'

Shall we go vote indie and be a cog in the corporate mass media mainstream?

This is your opportunity to push Colbert to the top – or pull John Stewart, Ricky Gervais, or Damon Albarn a bit higher.

Don't worry, no bad luck will fall on you if you don't vote. But could someone explain how Kiefer Sutherland has more votes than Al Gore… or how Perez Hilton has more votes than most everyone else?

I guess another part of the debate of this issue: Can you be indie, influential and iconic?
