Toys R Us to auction off mascot, online domains in June

Toys R Us Inc. will put its mascot Geoffrey the Giraffe and hundreds of online domains up for sale in June, Reuters reported May 14, citing court documents.

The bankrupt toy retailer will auction off hundreds of website addresses it purchased over the course of years, including sex-toys-r-us.com, ihatetoysrus.com, toysrussucks.com, kinkytoysrus.com and adult-toys-r-us.com, the news outlet reported.

Companies often register certain domain names to guard against third parties hijacking their brand names, according to the report.

None of the domain names are currently active, the report said.

Toys R Us did not immediately respond to a request for comment, Reuters added.
