Is it a joke? The only way to define "influential" is "influential on how the society lives", preferably after the person in question has died. The Founders are at the top, as they by right ought to be, but beyond them it is an absurd joke.

I agree with Elvis because of his influence on music for the last 50 years. PT Barnum, I'm not so sure. I think Hugh Hefner had a much stronger influence on our society.
