Wicked is the most awaited Musical movie of the year. Its a Prequel of Wizard of Oz, the origin story of The Wicked Witch and Glinda the Good Witch before Dorothy ends up in Oz.



producers of the movie hired Mattell (creators of Barbie and Heman) to make dolls for Wicked



The producers told Mattel to put the movie's website Wickedmovie.com on the box for seo purposes. Well Mattel made a mistake by putting the website remove the word movie on the website. It directs to a porn site company wicked. Now they are on a dillema if they have to pull out the dolls from market and replace the boxes or keep selling the dolls and cross fingers the children will not notice the websites suggested on the box.

If I am the owner of the Pornsite, I would paint an actress green and look for an Ariana Grande look alike... Mattell accidentally gave the pornsite publicity.

A lot of moms are now complaining their daughters ends up in a pornsite. Well its an award winning pornsite with 25 years of service at least.

I know how difficult this can be. Mattel should just own up and come out to apologize publicly. It can easily become a legal battle if they don't own up to it.

A mother just sued them because she claims it traumatized her daughter

This incident highlights the importance of quality control in manufacturing and the potential consequences of mistakes, even seemingly minor ones.

To be fair to the porn site, They censored the covers and posters of the porn movies, the pornstars wear clothes in the posters and you have to pay to see them naked to save kids who buy the dollars from trauma.

I agree with you and parental guide is highly recommended too. Some youngsters gets traumatized seeing some unexpected things especially online

[Netherrealmer]

The Wicked Website added this to block kids from entering their website that is definetly not about the Wicked Witch of Oz.

They also put clothes on the pornstars and you have to pay money to see the porn so the kids who want to see Glinda and Elphaba wont be traumatized.

Wicked is a well known porn site and very hardcore at that. Such kinds of mistakes are not to be pardoned. Truth is that no matter the damage control, some kids have already become hooked on porn through this so called mistake.

[Tinni]

What a disaster. I can imagine opening a link to see some musical and all you see is naked people. Ir can be very embarrassing a child having to confront a parent with that. There is no tangible explanation to give.

If cars can be pulled from market, dolls can be to. It will cost them but control quality team should be fired right away.

[Netherrealmer]

The dolls are back to the Market with a different box. The dolls even have a commercial:



No more porn site link but Mattel already got sued.

[germainebull]

Dolls can be a great way for children to learn about the world and develop their imagination. It's important to ensure that the dolls they play with are appropriate and promote positive values.

Mattell should be aware.

That was an embarassing mistake and a shocking one. It must have made a buzz around and made many heads roll. Well, some negative publicity also helps. Good that they realised it and made the correction.. they should be careful in the future.
