I'm always surprised to go another day where I don't hear anyone mention the risk of this mixup with Tushy, the anal porn site, and Hello Tushy, the bidet company.
- Maybe they do crossover marketing?
You’re not gonna tell us the website?
- Body of the post, right under the link description.
  
  sounds like it wasn't intentional.
  
  or at least plausible deniability is a thing.
  
  I’m on mobile. I legit don’t see it anywhere. I must be blind.
- OP says they linked to wicked.com, which I've never heard of but does look like a pay porn site.
  
  I checked it out... for science. Has big "brunch team" energy. The subscription should come with a free bowl of soup.
A discussion on the other site claimed that the fuck-up was in the copy that Universal sent to Mattel.
And that wrong websites frequently end up on packaging in other industries.

Mattel seem to be doing the sorry-dance for it, so no idea if it's true. Though I'm sure Universal would be very keen to not be involved.
Mattel regrets being in the news and keeping attention
