10 More Deserving Winners Of Time's "Person Of The Year" Than The Pope

6. Prince George

They say you can't choose your family, but little Prince George Louis Alexander of Cambridge has pretty much struck gold with his genes. Although the Royals can hardly be held up as a paragon of virtue when it comes to a solid, uncomplicated family arrangement, George's birth rights will ensure that throughout life he will receive the best education, medical treatment and all the rest of it for the duration of his life... and all on the taxpayer's... ok, let's not go into *that* one right now. The unapologetic media blitz that surrounded his birth wreaks very much of the modern condition. Here is a baby, already expected to grow up and be a man of certain proportions and achievements, all while under the cosh of public scrutiny and criticism. They may as well give him Person Of The Year now just to save doing it later on.

We'll see.
