Pony in a Box


"Daddy, for Christmas I want a pony." How many times has this happened to you? Well, if you don't have children, hopefully not too often (time to sell the cargo van). Well for those who wish to "technically" fulfill your child's wildest dream - Hasbro brings you Butterscotch the techno-pony. Standing around 9 hands this robo-equine can hold up to 80 lbs on it's back! Don't worry about messy hay around the house - "Butters" runs on 6 D-cells. Comes with grooming brush, rubber carrot, and real sample of horse manure (to show little Kathy why she doesn't want a _real_ pony).


The box states "Really comes to life!" Now, is it just me, or would this thing sitting in the corner scare the hell out of you once the lights go out? For a mere $300 "pony motion", "pony sounds", and "pony friendship" can be yours! Have we learned nothing? Playing god starts with Butterscotch - and it ends with ED-209. Be warned.


BTW - what's up with JonBenét in the photoshoot?
