I think sometimes companies focus so narrowly on their _intended_ audience that they genuinely miss seeing alternative possibilities that would be obvious to those outside the target demographic. Whut? What toy would this be? ---

Take a magical ride! A quick Google search on the name should turn up plenty of proof that the general public immediately noticed both the erotic possibilities and the potential for humor even if Mattel hadn’t. My own Googling just now indicates that the toy was indeed pulled from the market once Mattel realized what an embarassing situation they were in.
