Poor deluded people…

Dear colleagues, I don’t know what you took before writing the posts but don’t worry, I’m here to open your eyes and tell you why your choices were so wrong!!…

1. Cristiana and Margarida – Scientific progress 

http://travelthroughtheworldofenglish.blogspot.com/

Excessively vague! At the beginning I was guessing if the icon was the three men or what they have done… But analyzing the title (“Scientific progress”) please, girls, can’t you see that science is ALWAYS in progress? There isn’t a right decade where science will be highlighted!

2. Yuan – Kpop

http://mindspringroll.blogspot.com/

Dear Yuan, faster I’ll go to Saturn in vacations than Kpop turns into something global! I mean it will not happen (at least in this decade… maybe in the future…robots will adopt the kpop… who knows!?)

3. Rodrigo – Facebook

http://rodrigo_posts.blogs.sapo.pt/

Had it its spread time? Yes. Had it its fame time? Of course. Will it always be spreading? In no kind of way!

Honey, Facebook will be just like our old “grandfather” Hi5! (Do you still remember what hi5 was?…)

4. Nat and Lu – Twitter

http://natandluteachyou.tumblr.com/

Hm… My critic is based in one question: has the “twitter bird” flew away from your blog? (Maybe it knows that it’s obvious that Twitter will never be a global icon…)

My critic to Facebook can also be applied to twitter.

5. Frederico – Apple

http://englishessaysfred.wordpress.com/

Fashionable design, good system and it will really be the next icon because everyone will have one of tho…ups, wait a moment, I think neither a third of world population will be able to buy such an expensive thing, moreover in times of crisis. Fred, what were you thinking about?

(Uh ok, it might be an icon, of cooourse…in people’s dreams!)

6. Hugo Cardoso, Hugo Santos, Nuno and João – China

http://moreblogmoreinf.wordpress.com/

“中國製造”…我聯想到假貨。當然，中國有很好的產業，但也有假貨，低質量的產品（例如一些可以危害健康的化學品和材料）。中國，任何其他國家一樣，是不完美的！

和語言？哇，我認為這將是容易學習世界各地的中國在這十年…沒有，有沒有什麼是不可能的，因為我敢打賭，你或多或少能看到這段文字的主題，或理解至少有一個字，沒有？:)

7. Maria – Alexander McQueen

http://mariasperpective.blogspot.com/

I really love him! A great designer!

His clothes are so wonderful, so magnificent, so unique, so…expensive! Dear Maria, let’s be realistic: it isn’t everyone that will be able to adhere to his style. In addiction, an already dead person can’t cause so much influence on global level.

During this decade will appear lots of new designers…

His fashion still exists because global icons such as Lady Gaga are spreading his style through the world.

8. Tiago and Ricardo – Tom “durrrr” Dwan

http://rthistonomics.blogspot.com/

Well… I, a very informed person, haven’t never ever heard about some “durrrr”… Besides, do you know how much you need to pay to simply enter in a casino?! Do you think that in times of world crisis people would be interested in poker? Oh please, people will envy him and his money!

9. José – Solar Power

http://blankepage.blogspot.com/

Hm… Something really new and original… Well, ok, let’s imagine that everyone adheres to that system… Will it really work?

I never thought that you could be so selfish!! Have you thought about the northern countries and the tropic regions (where at least 2 in each 3 days are clouded)?

10. Bruno and Raúl – Samsung

http://theenglishtunes.blogspot.com/

How will it contribute to people’s happiness?! Taking money from our pockets and making us addicted to technology? I can see fat people, children in front of their computers, tablets, with their glasses, looking at the screens, were they’ll have everything… Hm this reminds me something…..

11. Ana Cesário, Ana Batalha and Beatriz – Angela Merkel

http://economicssphere.blogspot.com/

A good choice for an icon…but just for the next 2 years (at most)!
chosing a person related with politics is tricky because they have their “popularity” for a short period of time.

-=-=-=-

12. Alexandra – Anonymous

http://benglishthroughmusic.blogspot.com/

Anonymous was a good idea for an icon…NOWADAYS! They’re Internet as you said but Internet is always changing, at each second so I do not think they will last five years how much a decade…

-=-=-=-

13. Jorge – Ray Gun and WiTricity

http://perspectives19.blogspot.com/

Ray Gun? GUN??? We want war or peace? Tsc tsc, encouraging violence is so bad Jorge… What could happen if this gun fell into wrong hands? I’ll give you a hint: Worldwide Torture!!! Uh yeah, that’s really what we want the most!

WiTricity!? Good idea!! I like it, but I think it will be a little bit expensive to put it through all the world… Besides it, I can’t see WiTricity as some kind of an icon.

So, don’t be so deluded, let’s leave all your choices and vote for Lady Gaga to be the fashion icon in this decade! Available to everyone, unique and fantastic, Gagashion is definitely what you need!
