My Little Overreaction Of The Week


The Hasbro FurReal pony is basically a $US270 stuffed animal that wiggles its ears and neighs. Unfortunately for one little boy or girl, it’s apparently the sort of toy that gets blown up by confused bomb squads.

Apparently the folks at Waterbridge Elementary School in Orange County dealt with quite a bit of panic after an abandoned FurReal pony was discovered in a cul-de-sac near the school. The school was placed under lockdown, the authorities were called, and the bomb squad arrived to remove the potential threat—by blowing it up.

Yep. They blew it up. Blew the shit out of it. Because we all know that insidious terrorists love putting bombs into stuffed toys.

And cops love blowing harmless shit up.
