    The web address listed on the boxed dolls is wicked.com, instead of wickedmovie.com.

      I hope wicked.com capitalizes on this moment by releasing traffic data

        These are toys for kids. I think any attempt to capitalize on this could be a bad move legally.

          But also, kids of the target age for this doll should not be able to jump on the internet and type in any address they want. Hopefully the only traffic increase is from adults who heard about the mistake and were curious.

      Embarrassing to live in a society so puritanical news articles have to dance around this.

    If you go to the site you can’t see anything but the join page with no visible adult content. I wonder if it was always like that or they temporarily set it like that.

      I got an “Over 18?” page followed by adult content (though you have to scroll a little to see anything really explicit)

    And we’re just ignoring how this story was broken wide open by the BBC? I bet wicked.com won’t.
