This list is *****. - HeDiggMe, on 10/21/2008, -0/+40Bit of a stretch to say Dana White or Michael Phelps has more influence than Ben Bernanke.
- manwithapencil, on 06/22/2009, -9/+45Kevin Rose as nr 49, should be higher, but that earned my digg.

Take a wild guess who #1 is.
Buried for Slideshow, the horrible roll-over popup windows, and the seemingly random mishmash of everyone who's made news headlines in the last year. - inactive, on 10/21/2008, -1/+25Kevin Rose is bi-curious.
- TnTBass, on 10/21/2008, -1/+25This list sucks. Really? Actors and sports stars are the people who influence your lives the most? Scary.
- xChunk, on 10/21/2008, -5/+26Dugg down for not being on one page.
- Velvetmonkey73, on 10/21/2008, -2/+22I like Colbert in the top 10...
- apoupada, on 10/21/2008, -2/+20someone is a suck up
- crystl, on 10/21/2008, -2/+19Most Influential Men of 2008.....
....in America? - inactive, on 10/21/2008, -0/+17THIS YEAR ISN'T OVER YET GOD DAMN IT.
- inactive, on 10/21/2008, -1/+17Michael Phelps uses his "influence" to sell wireless service and How To Speak Spanish lessons. Well deserved.
- TnTBass, on 10/21/2008, -0/+15I can't say many actors or sports stars have any influence on my life... except him. Since I saw his movies I strive to be just like him.
Right now I'm trying Coke. I've got a ways to go before I'll make it into rehab, but I'm committed to getting addicted, so I can get clean.
Also, I'm working on a suit of Armour that will help me fight terrorism.
/sarcasm. - inactive, on 10/21/2008, -1/+15Typical of AskMen; it's full of ***** sports stars and actors
- discofreak, on 10/21/2008, -7/+21I can't stand Michael Phelps.
Almost buried because of him. - Zack23, on 10/21/2008, -5/+16Nice to see Robert Downey Jr. crack the top 5 - 2008 was a comeback year for him
- AdeleMor, on 10/21/2008, -0/+10Yay for David Simon.
(Not to be a jerk, but a polite suggestion: if there weren't ads every 5 or so winners, I would've gone further through this slideshow.) - Airforcefalco, on 10/21/2008, -0/+10I would say a good 90% of those people do not influence me at all.
- ByrcheWroot, on 10/21/2008, -0/+9I quit looking after Cris Angel. I mean, really?
- kurttrail, on 10/21/2008, -3/+12He's pissed off the lunatic right so much, that they look like a bigger bunch of whiny pussies than Dems.
- reed311, on 10/21/2008, -6/+15Looks like you Ron Paul fan boys couldn't game another poll in order to artificially inflate his actual support. But, yeah, they must be still "censoring" him, considering he's giving about 10 media interviews in the past couple of weeks.
- mikbunn, on 10/21/2008, -0/+8Hahahaha! Right behind Lil' Wayne, Criss Angel and A-Rod!
- kingbinji, on 10/21/2008, -0/+8they couldn't find one more guy to round it out?
- Myonosken, on 10/21/2008, -0/+8Someone disagrees with you therefore they're insane or stupid?
And then you complain about politics being mud slinging? Wtf? - newguy96, on 10/21/2008, -23/+30Ron Paul has been crusading for this Nation's constitution since before Obama was even a dirty thought in his dad's groin.
i guess if the media hadnt been propping up their "NWO boy" Obama for the last year then Ron Paul would get his due credit as most influential of 2008. - mrMunchies, on 10/21/2008, -5/+12To answer your question, Obama has given Americans a glimmer of hope that one day they can travel throughout the world without stitching Canadian Flags onto their backpacks..
- Dunhamzzz, on 10/21/2008, -0/+7Yeah Exactly what I was about to comment on, most of that list is American and I don't recognise any of the sports stars and most of the politicians and I'm sure that's a shared view for most people outside of the US.
Funny as the site says "UK Version" in the top corner... - inactive, on 10/21/2008, -0/+7Oh shut the ***** up. Seriously. I am amazed how much you ronpaul kool-aid drinkers can even talk (whine) considering you've had his dick in your collective mouths for the last year.
You want to know one of the reasons everyone else on the internet HATED ron paul fanboys?
Because you're to most self-righteous annoying fanboys on the internet who can't help but whine about the "eeevil media" or the NWO/CFR world control and other ***** tinfoil hat conspiracies. WHAAA! And instead of backing up your arguments with concrete facts, you just link to some ***** youtube video.
Ron Paul didn't do ***** but unite racists, christian supremacists, evolution deniers (of which he is one) and troofers. You didn't win a single state in the polls and finished with less than half a percent of the delegates at the republican convention.
Do us all a favor and shut the ***** up. Crustly old Uncle Paul can sucker you guys out of more money in another four years. - spidoman, on 10/21/2008, -0/+6You ruined the joke.
Kevin Rose is buy-curious. - TheUngod, on 10/21/2008, -0/+6This list has nothing to do with being influential. It's just a list of people guys on the internet like. There are a lot of people that should be on that list for bad reasons that aren't. You don't have to do good things to be influential.
- Endrian, on 10/21/2008, -0/+6Coke is fantastic.
The aftertaste sucks, though, which is why I switched my addiction to Sprite. - AngryAngryBrian, on 10/21/2008, -0/+6If you complain about a 2 page article, then this submission is for you.
- i4ybrid, on 10/21/2008, -2/+8***** LIL WAYNE
- dddavid, on 10/21/2008, -0/+6don't even know who the hell half of them are.
- mrpogo07, on 10/21/2008, -0/+5Why do any athletes inspire us? I mean, I'm not going to be a NFL pro athlete, but you can take their passion and strong will as inspiration. It's not about the swimming, it's about setting goals and doing everything that you can to reach those. THAT is influential.
lol, and after reading what I just typed, it sounds pretty flamboyant. I call no-***** - inactive, on 10/21/2008, -2/+7most influential men. actually, none of these men have any influence on me. downey jr. is influential? I don't think so. Outside the US, most people won't even know the names of these people.
I don't get it. Some ***** who works for askmen decides to write an article about his subjective view on the most influential men, and you guys take it as if some great god wrote it and is a list written in stone.
stupid - Restrikted, on 10/21/2008, -1/+6The mere fact that Kevin is on the list really says something. I bet most people(non digg users) were wondering who the hell this guy was, and why he was on a list alongside John McCain, Sydney Crosby, Steve Jobs(please don't die), and Christian Bale. Keep up the good work Kevin.
- inactive, on 10/21/2008, -1/+6#1 Obama
#2 Steve Jobs
The Gods of Digg users? I'M SHOCKED! - TheUngod, on 10/21/2008, -1/+6He's a good swimmer....and that's about it. Seriously, when did swimming make someone influential?
- bigtizzle, on 10/21/2008, -1/+6You know that guy who stole your car stereo and won't shut up in a movie theater? Yeah...
- amenhotep, on 10/21/2008, -0/+5Am I supposed to click 48 times and waste more 10min on this article?
- yohnstoppable, on 10/21/2008, -0/+5I'm going to take this time to tell everyone to go see Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. That's the movie that, at least imo, started his comeback. Funniest movie of the last few years
- pvincent, on 10/21/2008, -0/+5Christiano Ronaldo? Well he's influentially a douchebag...
- inactive, on 10/21/2008, -1/+6Kevin Rose is a douche.
- inactive, on 10/21/2008, -1/+6He helped beat the "Wall Street / Main Street" phrase into the ground.
- MacEnvy, on 10/21/2008, -0/+5FF3 works fine too.
- goodinohio, on 10/21/2008, -0/+4No wonder the elections suck.
- Darkaged, on 10/21/2008, -1/+5Did anyone read the bio of Kevin?
"As the founder of Digg.com, Kevin Rose has changed the way men get their news. His website features stories, comics and other content that the members of “Diggnation” deem worthy and “up-vote.”"
Way to research. - inactive, on 10/21/2008, -0/+40tis. I hope you're being sarcastic. There are too many people who actually believe that *****.
- else7en, on 10/21/2008, -1/+5buried
pop stars have zero real world influence -
