Mattel mistakenly prints p*********y website instead of movie promo website.

The packaging for a Mattel doll promoting the upcoming movie “Wicked” mistakenly had a p*********y website URL printed instead of the movie promo website.

Mattel’s packaging for its “Wicked” movie doll lives up to its name, but not in a good way. 

The toy manufacturer is apologizing after mistakenly including a web address for a pornographic site on the boxes holding the company’s newly launched “Wicked” dolls, rather than the official website of the movie adaptation of the Tony award-winning musical.

According to social media users, the information on the doll’s packaging leads to a website that requires people to be 18 years or older to enter. The company intended to direct people to a similarly worded URL promoting the two-part film starring singer Ariana Grande and actress Cynthia Erivo.

Mistake or purposely left in?  With all the child sexualization going on in our world, its hard to not imagine this was purposely done.  Apparently, the link printed was for the naughty website wicked.com instead of the promo site wickedmovie.com.

The URLs are very close: how many kids will accidentally ommit the word “movie” in the link and instead go to the p**n site?

Aside from this, the movie seems to celebrate the villain of the Oz franchise and me thinks any parent getting a toy with the word “wicked” printed is wicked themselves.  The villains seem to be the hero’s nowadays.

On another note, they should leave the website in, fitting of the toy because it is wicked to print a p**n website on a childs toy.  By the way, Mattel has a partnership with Disney for some of their princess dolls.  Tsk, tsk … Mattel is picking up some “wicked” behavior from Disney.
