iCarly teaches kids at a young age to make sure their domain names don’t expire.
This is a little old, but you’ll still get a kick out of it.
A reader just sent me a link to an iCarly episode that deals with domain names. I must admit I’ve never seen this Nickelodeon show before, but the description of this episode makes it almost worth paying the $1.99 to view the episode on Amazon UnBox:
“iWant My Website Back” – Spencer gets a new credit card after canceling his old one, causing Carly, Sam, and Freddie to lose control of the iCarly.com domain. Luckily, Mandy (who appeared in “iAm Your Biggest Fan”) returns to buy their website back for them, but she gets tricked into giving it to Nevel. Spencer disguises as an old woman to trick Nevel into signing the URL transfer document during a book signing, but is chased out by security after Nevel recognized him. Later, Nevel demands a kiss from Carly in return to claim the transfer document. Carly confronts Nevel, and Nevel signs the document. However Carly escapes with the signed document without having to kiss Nevel and succeeds in reclaiming their website.
That’s the detailed description on Wikipedia for season 2, episode 12. Man, these shenanigans rival that of the Sex.com theft.
OK, maybe not.

Shane says
I am not proud to say I saw that one live. Of course, I have a 10 year old that watches it religiously
John Berryhill says
I always liked the South Park episode in which the North American Marlon Brando Look-alikes Association is upset that another organization with the same acronym has their domain name.

We know iCarly well, paid extra attention to this episode though. My 11 y/o son has a blog at http://BlakesPicks.com but he’s pretty lax about writing. Trying to convince him to slap a new theme on there.
Since her brother has one, my daughter wants one now, so I’m setting her up at http://LimeGreenPeace.com (Work in progress)
Crazy kids and all this interweb stuff 😉
