an outsized effect on our great and beautiful nation over
the previous week. As always, there'll be three nominees, but
only one winner. And remember, like the Time magazine Person
of the Year, the New Zealand of the Week isn't
always an agent of good. Sometimes the nominations are for
real dickheads, and it's often not even a human. I'm

some are there for the magnitude of their crapness. Got
