Every year, Time magazine publishes a special annual issue with their choice for Person of the Year, accompanied by an iconic cover photo. In recent years, this honorable title has been given to the likes of Greta Thunberg, Barack Obama, and Pope Francis. However, the recipients are not always what you'd call honorable.
