02.24.11 | ...then again, it IS made by Lauren Faust, who worked on some of my favorite cartoons of the past, so should it be a surprise? |

02.24.11 | Meh, I didn't like it. Way too cutesy for my tastes. |
Masochist
02.25.11 | Yeah, it is very cutesy, but at the same time, so were Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends and The Powerpuff Girls, and those were some of the better cartoons of the 00's. This one is surprisingly funny for a show aimed at selling toys to 8-year-old girls (there's even a Benny Hill homage in one episode). |

02.25.11 | Josh D. - The show "My Little Ponies: Friendship Is Magic" has pretty much gone viral on the internet because of 4Chan's backing of it. I heard about it yesterday while reading an online webcomic, and had to see for myself just how interesting a cartoon for little girls could be. 16 episodes later, and I see what the hype is about. For a show about colorful ponies and rainbows aimed at little girls, it's undeniably GOOD. But again...Lauren Faust.
Right now, the largest demographic of that show's viewership are 18-25 year-old guys. It boggles the mind.
37er00 - Yes. Yes they are. Well...at least #'s 4 and 7 are; I haven't listened to 'Terria' yet. |

02.25.11 | You would think so, wouldn't you? I did...at first. |

02.25.11 | There are threads all over the internet full of grown ass men wondering how the hell they can justify liking a show about little girl toys. The best excuse I have is Lauren Faust, because she's married to Craig McCraken, and because she's part of that core group of Cartoon Network artists (including Rob Renzetti, Genndy Tartavosky, Maxwell Atoms, etc.) that work on quality ass shows.
And in case your wondering...yes, I ripped up my ManCard myself. :- |

Now I'm obsessed with Thomas Kinkade puzzles. |

02.25.11 | I will not. |
Masochist
02.25.11 | Don't. If you enjoyed Foster's or PPG or Dexter's Lab or Spongebob or even fucking Looney Tunes, then don't. You might just get sucked in against your will. |

02.25.11 | Also...listen to that Angelic Process album. And that Deadmau5 "Ghosts N Stuff"/"Moar Ghosts N Stuff" overdub. It's damn awesome. |
