Would not want my kid playing with a green witch.
Smart mom.
I would have played with the green witch when I was a kid, but it would have always been foiled and destroyed by the Autobots
I guess you could have doll houses fall on it too . . .
And buy the red slippers at an auction right now!
"Mattel was sued on Tuesday by a South Carolina mother for mistakenly putting a link to a pornographic website on packaging for dolls tied to the blockbuster movie Wicked." But they got the Spanish on the packaging correct...
It's not a mistake.
Exactly, whoever designed the packaging and the management team that signed it off should be in jail.
In that kind of process at least 50 people, including the printers would be involved in the design process. They are all complicit in peddling porn to children.
They all should be. No excuse.
'Should' is the operative word.
Unfortunately, we all know organizations and businesses were a mistake (or even even something nefarious like sabotage) can go unnoticed.
Because sadly there's lots of people who don't do their job, or just skate by.
My ex-wife (elementary school teacher) back in the day was trying to pull up Whitehouse.gov in the classroom, but without thinking used the dot com domain. I don't know if it still is but there was a time where the '.com' version redirected to pr0n.
She caught it immediately before the kids saw anything. But could have been bad.
She's still a 'republican' but the education system has definitely brainwashed her. More a RINO I guess. Buys into most of the indoctrination. One of the (many) reasons she's the ex
Schools should have filtered internet and that site should have never been reached, even if entered by mistake.
Also, anyone attempting to access a porn site on that network should have generated an automatic report to the security admin for further investigation.
I wholeheartedly agree. Granted this was like 20+ years ago (2000-2001 I think?) . But I still agree.
She did bring it immediately to the attention of admin.
I still remember how mortified she was. She may be the ex wife but she isn't evil.
You know, the only reason I am a Republican now is because of God. I was brain-washed in many things and many years living in Oregon. The only reason I changed was AJ and Covid. Covid just reminded me about Revelation. That's when I woke up really wide awake.
I was a Democrat until 2016.
Even shitty companies will make damned sure all art is correct and links work, before sending to print.
They went further and approved the print, final testing and then approved it going to mass production.
They absolutely knew the link went to porn.
This is just another way for semitic "allies" to push degenerate shit on young kids. To make them 100% porn addicted from a very young age. To make them incels, impotent, and everything they can to prevent them from being a productive (sexually and not) part of society.
It's like they are trying to destroy western civilization at an accelerated rate, now...
Idk why the creators assumed the link was for Wicked, did nobody bother to check and buy out the URL or at least make a new one 😂
Incredible. That's why they should be suing Disney at the same time and win big.
You are correct. Parent company.
Look into the original book this perverse production is based on. In plain sight.
Is there a book by that name. I will look.
Wicked is based on a book by the same name. I remember reading it in 9th grade but couldn't get past the first few chapters because it was so weird.
Ok. I am seeing it on Amazon. Thanks.
And just as a side note: it's not canon to the Wizard of OZ, it's like a fan fiction prequel that got really popular in the 20 years or so.
“fan fiction prequel…”
😂🤣🤢🤮
Aha—you mean like “50 shades of Barf” was to the equally unwatchable Twilight-?
Only vastly less legible, stupefyingly more absurd and FULL of queer sex that was clearly written by (a. Someone resentfully celibate) (b. Someone with no knowledge of basic biology) (c. Someone with a 3rd grade grip on the English language)…
SAY NO MORE! 🤣
Lol makes sense why the theater kids loved it so much...I'm glad I didn't continue reading that crap 😂
"c. Someone with a 3rd grade grip on the English language)" - okay so it wasn't just me who struggled to read it...I thought the book was just above my reading level or something 😅
Yes. It said pre Wizard of Oz.
The Wizard of Oz?

Wicked witch of the west?
It’s called Wicked, and I literally just threw away a copy six months ago that an old housemate had left. It had the image of the white witch whispering to the other and the edges of the pages were green.
Ok. I will look.
Parents are being warned not to buy the book that inspired Wicked for their children as a gift this Christmas - because it contains disturbing scenes including of rape, bestiality and murder.
BookTokers have slammed publishers for re-releasing Gregory Maguire's 1995 book using a front cover image of Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, who star as Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, and Glinda, the Good Witch of the South, respectively.
They say Maguire's original book 'is nothing like' the musical and could see children exposed to its explicit adult themes - including racism, sexual assault and ritualistic killings - by grown-ups unwittingly.
The re-released book, published by Headline Publishing Group in October ahead of the film's global release, shows an image of Erivo and Grande's film characters reaching to touch hands along with the strapline 'Everyone deserves the chance to fly'.
On TikTok, people have called the front cover misleading, saying that it suggests the book has the same PG themes as the film.
One British content creator, @enchantednanny, told her followers: 'This is a serious warning for parents of children who've loved the movie Wicked. Do not buy them the book.'
She continued: 'This is not a children's book, there are explicit scenes that are heavily detailed and very adult themes.'
Another, @carlyaclements, said of the content: 'In my opinion, it should be for 18+' before she detailed some of the scenes that feature in Maguire's novel, including bestiality and ritualistic murders.

Thank you. Do you know if there's a dated copy that I could download?
So bluecheck certifiable fanfic. 😂🤮 It has all their favorite fetishes besides pedo and homo.
fuckin hilarious
Thanks for the info. Appreciate this.
There is not ONE designer, marketing exec, packaging printer or distributor of a mass marketed, slick packaged, trend toy that DOESN’T check the URL or scan the QR. There are ALOT of complicit parties in this chain of events. Crimes against children, in print, on a “toy”. I want to be a pedophile slayer….make THAT toy, you evil bastards.
Amen. They should all go pick litter for the rest of their miserable lives.
these people are sick make them MATWAS
Yes. I don't buy from them.
Good!!!
Bud light both Disney and Mattel if you are parent.
I’m sure it was completely accidental
You cannot convince me that!
It was sarcasm, sometimes I forget my keyboard doesn’t convey sarcasm very well.
Oh ok. Thanks.
