INDIANAPOLIS — An Indiana man purchased a doll themed for the movie "Wicked" for one of his relatives, but what he found on the back of the box gave him quite a surprise.
While he was examining the box, Hoosier Dan Goodwin visited a link listed on the back of it. The website the link takes users to is not, however, advertising Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo's new film.
Goodwin said that he originally flipped the box over to see if he wanted to purchase advertising minutes on the manufacturer's website. The site listed on the back of the box was "wicked.com."
However, instead of finding flying monkeys and the Emerald City on the site, Goodwin discovered that the link takes users to a pornography site.
The doll is manufactured by Mattel, a company known for brands such as Barbie, Hot Wheels, Fisher-Price and American Girl. The "Wicked" dolls are currently still being sold at retailers across the nation.
It appears that this doll line is the only one of Mattel's Wicked-branded products to display the incorrect site. For example, the box of a Fisher-Price Little People set sold at Target only shows a link advertising Mattel itself.
The film's correct website is wickedmovie.com. Wicked releases in theaters on Nov. 22.
