Is Time just trolling everyone now?

@TMZLive I have lost faith in humanity. The US president, the Pope and Miley Cyrus. As my grandma would say "Lawd! Have mercy!"

It'll be a sad day for America, journalism & the sanity of dads w/ young daughters if Miley Cyrus gets picked as Time's Person of the Year.

If Miley Cyrus gets Time Magazine's 'Person of the Year' I will renounce all forms of media in my life and abandon society.

Snicker. Time seems to be well on its way to extinction!
This Twitter user points a little something else out, though:
