  • Summary

  • We discuss the recent Mattel misprint on Wicked-branded packaging for its line of Glinda and Elphaba dolls. Using a pun-charged and humorous perspective on the adult website, we explore the magical mayhem of a misprint and speculate on whether this was an intentional marketing ploy or poor proofreading. CW | TW: This episode discusses a wicked, wicked misprint by Mattel. Drew had an interesting week of research. There will be talk of a pornographic website and its content.
