Dooce It

So, there's this chick in the United States who has a website called Dooce.
Her blog is No. 14 out of millions listed on Technorati.
(We, the people of SarahCrosbie.com are 2.1 millionth. Sigh.)
Now, here's a glimpse of my super ego: Not too entirely sure why she's No. 14.
She talks about her life, Britney Spears and takes pics.
I talk about my life, Britney Spears and I look nice in pics.
One of these things is not like the other?

Anyway. She's a chick who's supporting her family with her site, so rock on, mama.

Ms. Dooce was recently invited to New York City to take part in CNN's discussion of Time Magazine's Person of the Year.

Ms. Dooce asked for comments from her readers about who they would have chosen. The responses range from Britney to Fed-Ex, to Donald Rumsfeld, to the Amish Community, to Michael J. Fox to Ellen DeGeneres.

I wanted to add my two cents (as I always do) except her site has stopped accepting comments at 299 posts, so I'm posting my own comment here.

SarahCrosbie.com would choose Diet Coke and Mentos as the Time Magazine Person of the Year.

The explosive combo has been the talk of science pages everywhere; YouTube has turned the science project into a web phenomenon. Search "Mentos" and "Diet Coke" and you get 3,583 hits. And that's just YouTube; There's a Diet Coke and Mentos performance art group; and, of course, the candy volcano has given more lipservice to the super company of Coca Cola, which is now bigger than Suri Cruise and Angelina Jolie and the country of Malawi combined.

So, that's my answer Ms. Dooce: I choose Ms. Mentos and Mr. Diet Coke.

I guess my choice is more a couple of the year than a person of the year:

Brad Pitt+ Angelina Jolie = Brangelina
Tom Cruise + Katie Holmes = TomKat
And, of course, the original: Ben Affleck + Jennifer Lopez = Bennifer

And Mentos + Diet Coke = Mentoke

I guess I chose them just for the taste of it.
