We now have a thriving “military bronies” community, dedicated to adult My Little Pony fans, and a full range of customised guns to accessorise.

I’ve kept a weather eye on the “Brony” phenomenon (male geeks who love My Little Pony cartoons) and even done a post about it, although I’m not as excited as the rest of the media who keep bronies constantly in the news and all over the blogosphere.

My Little Bony
George Stubbs’ wildest dreams of the future couldn’t have conjured Jason Freeny’s weird and wonderful sculpture of an anatomised My Little Pony. It’s currently under the virtual hammer on eBay.
