Ahead of the release of the new “Wicked” movie based on the Broadway musical, Mattel just upset parents across the nation by making a colossal mistake on their dolls featuring the film’s characters.
Mattel, who owns Barbie, Fisher-Price, American Girl, Hot Wheels and more, had to recall their collection of “Wicked” dolls after the packaging on the back took consumers to a pornography site instead of the movie website.

In a statement, Mattel responded to the incident, saying, “Mattel was made aware of a misprint on the packaging of the Mattel Wicked collection dolls, primarily sold in the U.S., which intended to direct consumers to the official WickedMovie.com landing page…We deeply regret this unfortunate error and are taking immediate action to remedy this.”
Mattel further commented with a warning to parents with: “Parents are advised that the misprinted, incorrect website is not appropriate for children,” and “Consumers who already have the product are advised to discard the product packaging or obscure the link and may contact Mattel Customer Service for further information.”
The idea of children watching a movie or a musical glorifying a wicked witch is already bad enough, but this takes it to a whole other level.
Things that are truly evil always show their corruption at some point. How could we possibly think that something “wicked” would actually be good? In a world where stuffed animals are now based off of Mothman and shows teach children to glorify Satan, we see the darkness rising up to try to deceive a new generation. However, it is the job of the church to cover the next generation in prayer, raise them in righteousness and teach them how to follow the godly path that leads to life.
