Are G1 ponies safe?

[Nemesis]

What is the quote from Fantastic Beasts? "Worrying means you suffer twice."

That might be one of the best quotes I have ever heard.

But yeah, I'm not gonna change my lifestyle based on an independent study from the internet (which is, of course, such a reliable source to begin with...). When the evening news starts reporting mass incidents of lead poisoning in MLP fans, I'll take notice.

Frankly, I might still even let my maybe-someday-kids play with G1s, provided that said children aren't the"chewy" type. Seriously, what is it with kids shoving everything in their mouths? o_0; I never had that compulsion, even as a toddler. My parents actually taught me about the dangers of chewing and/or swallowing foreign objects--and I listened (plus, I didn't want to ruin my toys with bite marks...)! Maybe these parents should spend some valuable time teaching THEIR children not to put dolls in their mouths, instead of obsessing about potential "choking hazards" on their mommy blogs.

As long as you don't eat the ponies...you'll all be fine.

You...you mean MLPs aren't for eating? Why does no one tell me these things?

Nothin' like a little plastic for breakfast!

Are G1 ponies safe?

No.

I have evidence that they cause a very serious illness. It's horrible in fact. I'm a survivor of this horrible illness.

See, this one day when I was around 11 I went to the store with my mother and she allowed me to buy 2 my little pony.

Little did I know what a mistake that was. 34 years later I am still dealing with this terrible affliction.

See, these little monsters multiply and take over your bedroom and next think you know you've got a full blown pony infection...

There is no cure.

I love you

I see a problem with this. Will the island have a reliable postal service via which we can receive pony refugees?

Lets make a republic, with our own flag, history and the whole nine yards.

Yes. Definitely. Or at least if not an island, our own little colony somewhere. Preferably very close to stores that carry hasbro stuff.

I know of a young boy (2) who recently swallowed lead pellets from an aquarium thermometer. Thankfully they were not mercury. His lead levels never imcreased enought for the doctors to worry after numerous bloods... so based on that I would think lead poisoning from G1s would be relatively low to barely anything.

[Loa]

Oh the things I put in my mouth when I was young... ponies are NOTHING to worry about.

I just want to say I found a spider crawling on Peachy this morning, so G1s are definitely not safe unless you lock 'em up properly

Yes. We must keep all the pretty ponies safe from creepy-crawlies.

Well I had a very big spider in one box that had My Little Pony annuals along with other annuals.

My mum had to squash it.

It ruined one of my annuals

Ruined it? Forever? Do you mean with staining? Oh man...8(
