New Mouth Taped Shut Post Leads to “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” Viral Michael Lee, October 10, 2011October 10, 2011 We have been wondering for a long time what mouthtapedshut.com, the tumblr site for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, was really all about, was it a viral site or was it just a site for teaser images?
