Team Coop.

Today, Friday, July 14, marks a special day for fans of The OC, who will unite worldwide for Save Marissa Banner Day, according to www.savincoop.com. The new website was designed by fans dedicated to showing producers of the show how important they feel it is that Marissa is a part of season four, despite the character’s on-screen death back in May and Mischa Barton’s acceptance of her exit. To do this, they’re asking for your help in just about any way they can get it – in the form of donations (to set off the cost of building a lifeguard station in front of Fox Studios), small, localized protests involving the use of Marissa and Ryan’s unofficial theme song Forever Young and the purchase of various merchandise with the "Save Marissa" message, including t-shirts, calendars, hats and rubber bracelets. Or, as many fans clearly want to tell producers, "welcome to The OC, bitch."
