Minecraft's Notch More Influential Than Kim Jong Un Says Time Mag
Time Magazine is a big deal in the world of people who read magazines. It has been around for donkey's years, and has made its brand uber-famous with things such as Time's Man of the Year (featuring Hitler and Stalin, David Ho and Mark Zuckerberg). Nowadays it also does a huge reader poll and Markus Notch Perrson of Minecraft fame nearly won it this year.

Yes, Notch, beat the likes of North Korean King of Nuts, Kim Jong Un, South Korean Earworm, Psy, and aces singer Beyoncé and sweet normal English couple The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to nearly top the Time 2013 Poll. But what does this mean?

According to Time, the "vote for the leaders, artists, innovators, icons and heroes that you think are the most influential people in the world." In the Goddamn real, outside, not made of virtual bricks WORLD!

Official voting ends on Friday, April 12th. The final TIME 100 list is selected by our editors and will be revealed on Thursday, April 18th. But who is beating Notch?

President of Egypt Mohamed Morsi that's who.
