The New York Times reports:
All may be good in the Land of Oz, but the same can’t be said for the world of Mattel. The toy company’s latest dolls for the movie “Wicked” listed a porn website on its packaging instead of a very similar URL that promotes an upcoming film adaptation of the hit Broadway musical.
Mattel said in a statement on Sunday that it was aware of a “misprint” on the box for the dolls, which are primarily sold in the United States. The company said it had intended to direct consumers to the movie’s landing page.
The doll is for children four and up. Mattel expressed deep regret, blamed the mix-up on an “unfortunate error” and vowed to take “immediate action.” But the company did not say how the error had occurred or what action it planned to take.

The cult, of course, is claiming that the incorrect URL listing is deliberate because something something Democrats adrenochrome Pizzagate. They’re still pissed about the success of the “anti-male” Barbie film.
