What's Godot's real name? He did tell me once, but I can't remember. Does it begin with M?

Godot is very handsome in a raddled sort of artistic kind of way
and according to Ellie has surprisingly firm thighs

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is the new Hitler

"Time" magazine has named Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, as its Person of the Year for 2010.
In doing so, Time has made its least impressive choice since 1938, when it went for Adolf Hitler. (Back then, of course, the title was still "Man of the Year", which was probably a bit sexist, but when you're making the founding father of Nazism your cover boy, you've already shown where you stand on the whole PC thing.)
I cannot honestly say that I have a good idea what the Person of the Year is supposed to represent. I've never encountered a copy of Time outside the complimentary magazine rack of the BA business lounge (have you noticed how the cover always seems torn and muddy, as if it had been stepped on?) so I don't know what the magazine stands for, but surely the POTY is supposed to have done something good?
Zuckerberg, on the other hand, has impoverished humanity. He has made staying in the new going out. He has emptied the outdoors of real people, hunched one-third of the developed world's population over its laptops 18 hours a day, "poking" each other, and made our streets a no-go zone where only rapists and muggers thrive.
Facebook, which I joined in 2006 but have not looked at in more than a year, was designed to turn everyone into a teenage virgin nerd like Zuckerberg. Its preoccupations are all favourite bands, relationship status and silly moody face icons. It's a world of I fancy you, I don't fancy you, I love Lady Gaga, I'm miserable, throw sheep, I've got a boyfriend, no I haven't, I want one, I don't want one, you smell, here's a photo of my nan, swoon, LOL, swoon, scream, ROFL.
It was fun while it lasted, it's nice for kids. But it has now reduced half a billion adults to the functioning level of 12-year-olds by creating a structure for living that precludes any sort of personal, social or sexual development. Facebook drains human interaction of all suspense and subtlety, imbecilifies everyone who touches it, and has had the global effect of hitting a brain with a brick. Splat. All over. The world has been deliberately retarded by Zuckerberg, the Arch Retard, so that he might rule it all. He is really not so different from Hitler. In fact he's worse because he hasn't failed yet. No wonder Time has made him its Man of the . . . Person of the . . . whatever.
They'd have been better off giving the title to my postman.
