    Portugal Satire Website Reports on Ponies

    Ponies continue to spread across the globe it seems! Recently they have popped up on a Portugal satire website called Inimio Publico, which is like the Onion of Portugal, in a short article. Check out the original article here and the translation provided to us below.

    Translation:

    "Grown men who love 'My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic' created a fanclub of António José Seguro" <- some politician, I don't know.

    There exists in Portugal an evergrowing minority of grown men who love the cartoon series "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" (created to teach the value of friendship to 7-11 year old girls), calling themselves "bronies" (slang combining bro, abbreviation of "irmão" and pony).

    From what the IP (Inimigo Público) has brought together, these men, who cannot resist these cuddly, pretty and harmless things in its innocence decided to create a community that worships António José Seguro, as they don't miss a public statement of the general-secretary of PS, in which he tries to teach the value of expansionist public politics to European leaders towards ages 7 to 77, statements compiled by these fans in a DVD titled "My Little Seguro: Economic Growth is Magic". These men that share the apparent irrational admiration towards António José Seguro call themselves "dudonhas", slang that mashes "dude" and "panhonhas" (from what I gathered it translates to fools, I don't know, this makes sense if you're Portuguese)
