I'M BLOGGER.COM'ING A POST
Look, The OC, Google is a verb. I can Google your cast. I can Google your director. I can even Google up a "Welcome to the OC, bitch" t-shirt.
A9.com, however, is NOT a verb. I don't care how much Amazon paid you to have Lindsay say "I A9.com'ed him" during last night's episode -- it just didn't work. Seriously. Didn't work to the point that I've actually paused the episode just so that I could comment on how badly it didn't work. Check that -- I thought to myself, "what?!" and then TiVo'd up a replay and thought, "what?!" again before realizing that you actually tried to pass off "A9.com'ed him" as something someone would actually say. THEN I paused the episode so I could comment on how badly it didn't work.
So I'm disappointed in you, The OC. But Amazon, I'm even more disappointed in you. You've got a great search engine. You're attractive. Smart. You can show me a picture of every Starbucks near my house. I'm sure you'll make someone very happy someday. But don't force it... you'll only push me away.
UPDATE: I BetaNews.com'd this bidness and found a story that suggests the writers just inserted that bit because they liked A9.com -- not because they were paid to do so. Humm... I can believe that Ryan fell in love with his adoptive mother's father's illegitimate child, but this is still a little hard to swallow.
