is there just a 'je ne sais pas' about ponies that draws you to them?
I legitimately love the current series.
Maybe this will help:
(Although there is no metal in the show)
The show is freaking awesome. It started off as some friends of mine sending me pics and videos. At first I was like "wtf, wtf is wrong with you?", then I watched a few episodes, then next thing you know I was watching a few more episodes, and now I've seen every episode (of the current series) at least twice and participate in pony forums.
I do recommend watching a few episodes, all of them are up on youtube (just search for "My little pony friendship is magic 1080p").
So, to answer your question Grumples... I was on heavy.com, reviewing the Twenty Worst Glamour Shots photo thread... and they give you 19 cheezy shots from the 90's, and then..... zing... the last one is the pink unicorn guy. I somehow doubt that is a real glamour shot.
Sword, funny you should say that, Lauren Faust, who is responsible for some great shows and movies like Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends and Powerpuff Girls, is also responsible for the current pony series. It is safe to say that if you loved PPG, you will love ponies. Proceed with caution
