Mand'alor Dash 2,224 March 22, 2013 Share March 22, 2013 DHX, the animators behind Lauren Faust's fanmade My Little Pony series Friendship is Magic, have today been hit by a cease and desist order from trademark holder Hasbro. In a press release, Hasbro has stated that DHX's Friendship is Magic series painted their franchise in a bad light. "You kidding? That series had the yellow pony breaking a bear's fucking neck! No way we're letting that be associated with our company!" says Hasbro marketing executive Richard Head. He later added, "Also, get Michael Bay on the phone. Tell him that Transformers 4 needs to have more sexist imagery and racial stereotyping than the other three films did." Fans of the series have rallied in support for DHX, and have pointed out that FiM's content is, quote, "no worse than any typical kid's cartoon." Lauren and DHX have been approached by My Little Pony creator Bonnie Zacherle with an offer to create a new universe to set their cartoon in. Will have more on this story as it develops. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelvocity 211 March 22, 2013 Share March 22, 2013 For about three seconds I was confused, and then I realized this was fake! Not the most amusing joke, really, but whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Fader 24 March 22, 2013 Share March 22, 2013 If they wanted to change production companies wouldn't they have to wait for the contract to expire, or would there be a get out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
