    Seriously.

    I feel kind of bad now for all of my Flutterlove lately.

    Poor girl was just left to rot.

    Alright that's my Trixie post for the day.

      Trixie deserves only pain.

      No seriously, she was designed to be hated to a massive extreme, by being a arrogant, egotistical, snobby, brat; Yet she has massive fandom. I understand there will always be fans of some sort for everything, but the amount Trixie currently has is massive, which she should NOT have.

      Considering how many different angles of the exact same billboard there are from different qualities and resolutions of cameras on Ponibooru, it's pretty real. Hasbro also said they were going to do it so...

      There's more to it than that, though. In all fairness, heckling a traveling showpony, who clearly lives out of her trailer, is not a very friendly or tolerant thing to do. And you can hardly fault her for adapting her performance to fit. She wouldn't be the first vaudevillian to embarrass troublesome members of her audience.

      She could have been more gracious at the end, but then there would be no reason for her to make a reprise in season two!

      If that was their intention, than I have to say they did a terrible job at it. Gilda was a massive bitch. Prince Douche was... well, a douche.

      But nothing that happened in Boast Busters was anywhere near as black and white as what happened in Griffon the Brush off Best Night Ever.

      I'm sorry, but I just have to get this off of my chest. I think the billboard could have been a lot better.

      First of all, the billboard doesn't even say "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic". I'm doing a little research will lead to MLP:FiM (after all, it does say that it's on the Hub), but still, unless you're already a fan, you'd have no idea what that billboard is advertising.

      Secondly, the billboard's physiogamy suggests that the main cast (with the exception of the ditzy-looking Pinkie Pie) are (for lack of a better expression) stuck-up bitches, which is the total opposite of what the characters actually are. Also, I can't help but feel that some of the pose the characters make are suggestive. Call me a perv for saying that, but that's how I feel.

      And finally, the billboard is parodying an R-rated film. I can understand that Hasbro would want to appeal to their newfound adult audience, but if I were in charge of a show that's supposed to be family-friendly, I would not want to relate it to a raunchy adult comedy that's obviously not meant for kids.

      I'll admit that I chuckled when I first saw the billboard. However, now when I look at it, I can't help but worry that Hasbro is doing too much to appease their adult audience when the show is supposed to be "for all ages".

      Anyway, that's my rant. Feel free to disagree.

      It does what a billboard is supposed to do: it catches people's attention. It's visually arresting without being obnoxious, and is an obvious parody built to elicit a chuckle (or at least a "wait, what?") out of passing adult drivers.

      Adults look at sign. Adults do research. Adults see this show is good for their children. Adults harken back to billboard and sit down with kids and watch together. Family bonding is had. I'm pretty sure this is the design intent of the ad, and not simple brony appeasement.

      You know how you get a show or movie to appeal to all ages? You slip in jokes for adults that kids don't recognize as adult jokes. Watch Animaniacs again sometime (or heck, watch this handy compilation). The number of adult jokes in successful kids' cartoons is surprisingly high, and is usually what draws attention from adult fans. A kids' show without adult humor hidden in it is just a simple kids' show and is usually written off as mindless pap.

      Granted, one of the things that makes MLP:FiM interesting is that it's fun and positive and wholesome, without the usual adult cynicism that pervaded most of the Spielberg cartoons and others. But the show's got a long way to go before it becomes Sex in the Stable.

      Different Anon here:
      Was I the only one who didn't like Animaniacs? I thought that all the "adult jokes" were pandering to the stereotype of what a corporate executive THOUGHT adults were: cynical, over-sexed, greedy, and all around callous to those around them. It got to the point where I would sit down to watch Animaniacs and felt like the show was making a weak attempt at subverting my thought processes to reflect that terrible stereotype. Plus, a lot of the jokes just weren't that funny.

      I REALLY don't want MLP: FIM to end up going that route. MLP is able to make adult jokes that don't pander to (or attempt to validate) the worst in our nature, and it would be a shame to see the show fall down to the level of Animaniacs.

      I think we're comparing apples and oranges here.

      Animaniacs was intended as a spoof of the Hollywood cartoon industry, so of course the humor in it was going to be on the dry and cynical side. It was "inside humor", jokes by, about, and for the folks who were making them.

      MLP, on the other hoof, has a reputation for being (mind-numbingly) "kid friendly". Tossing in some jokes aimed at adults is not going to change that in any direction except for the better. And Bosstone is right--no one at Hasbro is going to "reimagine" MLP as a hip, cynical cartoon, because that would effectively destroy its carefully cultivated reputation.

      Though I hate to caution someone agreeing with me, I have to point at Loonatics Unleashed. Idiot studio execs definitely exist.

      Of course, Loonatics came about after the Looney Tunes cow had been milked dry for years, so I'm pretty sure it won't come to that with MLP:FiM. So long as the creators aim at the kids first while giving the adults some love on the side, as the folks who did Spongebob did, it'll be all good.
