For some reason Rarity's mention of the Haypacking district made me think of the made-in-Manhattan artwork by Banksy: The Sirens of the Lambs. A slaughterhouse truck of cute cuddly animals driven though the Meatpacking district of New York.
Our community has certainly produced work which corrupts children's toys in even more dark and sinister ways. But I can't think of any pony artist or writer who has quite reached Banksy's level of political acumen.
See also: The Dismaland Bemusement Park.
How many of you, upon hearing of Dismaland, paused and reflected in shame and rememberance.
Hm. Makes me want to write a story called Sanctuary, where Twilight Sparkle dreams that a stuffed bear flees to her castle in the hopes of evading his disassembly at the claws of griffon children, while Gilda is sent to bring the stuffed toy back.
The contrast between reality and fantasy is a harsh one.
And to think some people say art is dead.
I'm sorry, but what does Banksy have to do with Ponies?
