John Reid took it upon himself to post a personals ad on behalf of Butterscotch on Craigslist in the "Casual Encounters" section, the dating equivalent of the Mos Eisley spaceport. Here is the ad:
Butterscotch is Yummy!!!!1!!! - w4m
I am a life-sized plush pony that loves to be groomed and cared for. I have many features similar to that of a real pony, including moving eyes, ears and head, soft fur coat and a swishing tail. Through sensors, I can feel when I am being groomed and I will move my head toward you, and may whinny and snort. The more you touch me, the happier I become. Just like a real pony, I love carrots and can be "fed." Hold the pretend carrot to my face, and I will open my mouth for it, or shake my head "no" if I have had enough. You can even sit on Butterscotch and I will make walking sounds. Measures 39" tall. Requires 6 "D" batteries (not included). Adult assembly required. Holds up to 80 pounds.

And the response John got was prompt and did not disappoint.

Is all of that one large innuendo or just a really misplaced ad???
Either way, considering the context, it's really entertaining.
