“huh, ad revenue is up a bit this month”

“oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck I’m so fired”
– some IT guy at paw patrol hq
If you’d read the article, you’d know the company was already dissolved.
It’s still a good joke tho.
I think I saw something being dissolved on that page.

http://www.appykidsco.com/ - was the site. No porn sadly. Just a chinese landing page.
Open it from a mobile device. Definitely lots of porn ads…

Yup same here. Definitely porn
So many APKs…
It’s a lot of Chinese writing and porn gifs. I had to close it immediately because there were about 30 gifs all over my screen.

Apparently it was a holding page, could they just not have bought the domain?
What kinda porn 🤨
Just regular porn. I took the plunge and checked it out.
That was my first thought, too - that they’d used Paw Patrol “fan art” as marketing materials, but no… it sounds like it was just improperly vetted adult ads displaying on their site. I am more than a little disappointed.
not even that exciting. the company that made the snacks apparently went out of business a year ago, so the domain lapsed… and this is what can happen.
When they went out a year ago, why do they recall something now?
Supermarket is recalling it, not the manufacturer
Mmm, year old stale snacks, just what every kid wants.
At least a year old. Seems like this is blown way out of proportion.
Woof.
Yiff
Is what you meant to say.
awoo
Wrong community
Somebody let their domain expire and this happened… I mean, it is at least somewhat tech related
I find it a bit tangential but I see.
I agree that it’s more cybersecruity related but given that this incident led to a food product recall there is a bit of a more broad appeal so I think fits this community.
It’s ridiculous that they would rather throw out all this product instead of just buying the domain back and serve a simple website. Goes to show how little the brand controls about their business.
Maybe they didn’t want to sell?

They seem to enjoy collecting expired domains and advertising on them, that might be the more profitable route that trying to find a new buyer.
