We are fully aware that there are rumored season two images floating around. We posted two of them before the full scope of the situation was revealed to us, and we do apologize for that. The post will remain.
We will not be posting any more of these rumored images until we get solid confirmation as to their veracity. That's our official policy, and we're sticking to it. Don't read into it any further than that, please!
In other news, we are now owned by CNN for those wondering about the new banner. Yep. Totally not lying.
EQD out.

But mass speculation and general paranoia are so much fun!
ReplyDelete@FlutterPieI second that.
ReplyDeleteHooray responsible posting.
ReplyDeleteThank god. Those images looks so questionable.
ReplyDeleteThose images seemed real legit to me. *Liarjack face*
ReplyDeleteGood...I guess.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I thought the first image was just using cut outs from the intro/Twilight's arrival then add a bunch of random stuff for the hay of it.
ReplyDeleteThank you. This way it's easier to know what I should be excited about.
ReplyDeleteBut..
ReplyDeleteI WANT TO BELIEVE

The stories and information posted here are artistic works of fiction and falsehood.
Only a fool would take anything posted here as fact.
SOOOO until i get concrete proof.. im not buyin it :p
also lierjack.gif all up in here
At least spoiler them! Make it so they aren't visible right from the get-go. If they turn out to be real, that's a pretty big spoiler, bro! Give people a chance to choose whether or not they want to see these rumored images, because I sure as hell did not.
ReplyDeleteI wanted retired supervillain Luna myself...
ReplyDelete... And what the hell happened to the banner? I like a little minimalism, but that is too little.
Alot of banner changes latley, I don't think I like the current one though, the happy colourful ones were better.
ReplyDeleteAlso i approve of the stance on images, not really worth the drama.
On an unrelated note, why can't we seem to decide on a banner tonight?
ReplyDeleteFirst Trixie, then Fluttershy, now a generic looking "EQD" block?
I guess we'll just have to wait and see
ReplyDeleteGood journalism policy is good policy.
ReplyDeleteThe images seemed legit, but then again, anyone competent with flash could make those.
ReplyDeleteJust get some assets, layer them.
More research is needed.
Seems legit.........

*LiarJack "poker face"*
@Dusty the Royal Janitor
ReplyDeleteCNN bought out EQD
Caution? Reserve? A concern for the verity of what you report? This is the internet, dammit! Give us flame food!
ReplyDelete"Full scope of the situation"?
ReplyDeleteDelightfully cryptic! :P
EqD is starting to go all Apple on us? Refusing to post or talk about rumors?
ReplyDeleteReal legit...
ReplyDeleteAlso,
@Dusty the Royal Janitor
Agreed.
Btw, not to hate on generic EQD banners but, YOU TOOK AWAY MY FLUTTERSHY!
A little madness, a side of cover up, and now an "official looking" banner that could be placed along side Global corporations. Excellent! *Evil Fluttershy laugh*
ReplyDeleteYou change it to a Fox News parody; Reporting speculation and dubious information as news.
ReplyDelete@Mint Jelly Well, if they are going Apple on us, at least apples are still within the pony theme.
ReplyDeleteI personally think it's somepony's overactive imagination.
You should have a post dedicated to all the Banners that have been posted on this site :P. Kinda curious as to what they were before I was into this fandom..
ReplyDeleteI still don't believe the pics are legit. The first just looks like a hodgepodge of vectors and the 2nd one looks a little too 'off' to be the proper art style the show is known to use. But who knows.
ReplyDeleteThank Celestia, Sethisto. Those images were total lies, for all you know. Luna totally isn't evil in the second season, she's a kind and loving pony who justso happens to like dressing evilly.
ReplyDeleteLets see what we can do to add a bit of pony to that banner.
ReplyDeleteSpecifically Fluttershy.
*Attempts photoshop science*
@Sethisto
ReplyDeleteAhhhh... I thought it looked kinda familiar...
I stopped watching the news a long time ago.
>We posted two of them before the full scope of the situation was revealed to us
ReplyDeleteSo, basically someone done goof'd. A very serious goof.
Confound you Seth, making me thing CNN did a report on bronies...
ReplyDeleteHas EqD asked Hasbro for confirmation on the images (or at least know how to).
ReplyDeleteSo... um... I am confused. Did EQD get bought out or not because both sides have applejack's lie face and that sounds like a bad thing for bronies if it did. and if it really was bought out what kind of candy bar was it?
ReplyDeleteWhere can I find these other images?!
ReplyDeleteSomepony should draw a banner with lots of ridiculous fake Season 2 spoilers, like Trixie attacking Ponyville in a giant battle mech, or Applebloom discovering that her special talent is forensic pathology.
ReplyDeleteWait... CNN didn't ACTUALLY buy Equestria Daily did it?
ReplyDeleteThat would be silly, wouldn't it?
I think I'm confused...
Wow, look at all of these commotions happening lately.
ReplyDeletepopcorn.jpg
Ok, I love reimagining of common slogans, so "world leader in pony" has all of my approval! :)
ReplyDeleteI have looked in the royal treasury (and Luna's snack box) and located the equivalent of $21 and two (yes two) candy bars, im now off for a pythonesque haggling session with CNN. That is assuming they have an office in Equestria.
ReplyDeleteJust one candy bar? You guys got gypped. I wouldn't sell it for any less than five candy bars.
ReplyDeleteliarjack.png
ReplyDeleteGuess it's for the best, although I do love some speculation every now and then.
ReplyDeleteUm... this is a joke, right?
ReplyDeleteBecause I don't think it would be good news for us if a large media business like CNN got their hands on us.
This IS fake, right? I'm just wondering 'cause it seems to contradict itself by first saying in the title that we ARE owned by CNN, but then in the second-to-last line saying we AREN'T owned by CNN and both, as another commenter put it, are wearing the "liarjack" face.
So which is it? Are you lying about us being owned by CNN or are you lying about us NOT being owned by CNN?
I'm perplexed and a little worried...
Also, Seth. I kind of don't agree with you on this for once. I would like to know ALL the latest pony news, even if they ARE rumors. At least put them in the nightly roundup or something with a heavy disclaimer stating that they ARE ONLY rumors and let us decide for ourselves.
ReplyDeleteThis is just my input, however, and it's your site. If you do this I guess I'll just have to spend a few more hours on ponycan.
Or you could a gossip part of EQD and fill it witth unconfirmed news. That wouldbe good too. You could have a non-gossip mode as well.
Well since I had my fun in the first comment. Figured I would share some possible toy info.
ReplyDeleteDuring an item lookup in my store's item management system(Walmart, where I work) under the Hasbro supplier, I noticed a few MLP toys that I haven't seen yet on the shelves. There were two Scootaloos listed and one Sweetie Belle. The Sweetie Belle and one of the Scootaloos were listed as "MLP Sweetie Belle Fig" and same for Scootaloo, just insert her name in place of Sweetie Belle. The 'Sell For' price seems to have been listed at $3.50. I couldn't see the details for the other Scootaloo(such as sell price). Since the Zone Manager was there as well, since he had to sign in to have access to those inventory options, so I had to take in what info I could as I scrolled. I just remember the description being "MLP Scootaloo."
So, all I make of it is that we may be able to buy the members of the CMC separately instead of them just being in that pack with Cheerilee.
Well, at least they picked a good candy bar...
ReplyDelete-Moonlight Ballad, Bard of Equestria
@Celestia
ReplyDeleteIf they don't go for that, I might have half a cookie left.
and...
*photoshop science failed*
I love this site.
ReplyDeleteMFW people think Seth is serious...
ReplyDeleteWho would sell capitalistic goldmine for 20 bucks and a candy bar. Any reasonable person would demand a few hundred dollars at least.
EQUESTRIA DAILY! WHY YOU SELL OUT TO CIRNO NEWS NETWORk
ReplyDeleteThe other banner was way cuter....
ReplyDelete@Filiecs
ReplyDeleteNot so much think he's serious as he's just giving out really mixed signals with what I THINK is a typo in the second to last line.
Just confusing is all. He's saying both things at the same time in a sarcastic or "liarjack" sort of way and it's a little throwing...
$20 and a candy bar? its the deal of the century!
ReplyDeletePersonally, I think an EQD version of the BBC logo would look much better.
ReplyDelete@Sumo Unicorn
ReplyDeleteNo worries, it threw me as well.
At least until the 20 bucks and 2 candybars thing.
Oh, and to answer someone's complaint earlier, there WAS a CNN blog on Ponies and Equestria Daily a few days back. http://marquee.blogs.cnn.com/2011/09/22/the-throwback-my-little-pony/?iref=allsearch
ReplyDeleteHOW COULD YOU SELL US OUT FOR A CANDY BAR!? I MEAN WHY WOULD YO---wait, were they "100 Grand" Bars, as pictured?
ReplyDelete.....
You made a wise call.
@Filiecs
ReplyDeleteYeah, I guess that's really the clincher here. Seth isn't brain dead. He wouldn't let the site go for anything less than several thousand methinks, seeing how many pageviews it gets...
Wow, didn't we go through like 3 banners today? Trixie, Fluttershy now CNN? Man, either there's been a sudden influx of banners or perhaps a random banner on loading of page is in order?
ReplyDeleteHA! I already got the Fluttershy banner in my pony folder take THAT!
ReplyDelete@allanime01
ReplyDeleteI miss the $100,000 Bars myself, but yes, good choice.
100 Grand bars are best candy
lol It's a nifty little banner. But being owned by CNN is better than being owned by Fox at least, right? :) But I hope it was a very very big candy bar! Y'know, one of those 50 pounders or such. Mmmm, rotting out my teeth in 10 seconds flat~
ReplyDeleteGood, good, with new banner i could open this blog in public places =)
ReplyDeleteNow, as a student of journalism, I cannot let the aforementioned story go by without a slap on the wrist. Shame! Shame! Shame!
ReplyDeleteYa know, you could probably prevent these potentially embarrassing incidents from occurring. Seems to me that many news organizations, including our new benevolent overlords at CNN, have people who work as "editors". Now I'm not gonna tell you how to do your jobs, but my instincts are telling me that having an editor would be "probably a good thing". You can quote me on that, very official.
Now how you go about finding an "editor" would be up to you. It would have to be someone with experience in the news field, like someone who worked the news desk at his local radio station as an intern. Someone who would be so enthralled with the site that he would scoff at the notion of getting payed. Probably wouldn't hurt if he had too much time on his hands, and wouldn't mind constantly checking his email for stories to put up.
Eyup, finding somebody like that would sure be swell...
(hint hint)
This.....is E.Q.D.
ReplyDelete@Dr. Henry Killinger
ReplyDeleteAs somebody who is, while not a student of journalism, very interested in and supportive of the subject, I would like to thank you for this comment, as it sums up my thoughts exactly...
(you and your magic murder bag would be a welcome addition to this site)
>implying that I didn't forcibly take over EQD (CNN is just one of my many many fronts)
ReplyDeleteALL WILL BOW BEFORE MOJO!!!!
@dustykat
ReplyDeleteYou are now reading that in Cathy Weseluck's best Spike voice.
@70f31582-eb1d-11e0-b79f-000bcdcb8a73
ReplyDeleteThanks for your support! It means a lot to me. I'm not sure if I'm really what they are looking for (or if they are even looking for anyone to begin with), but nothing ever happens if you don't try... though I'm a bit too nervous to talk to any of the higher-ups directly (I'm kinda shy [especially for a journalist]). I'm just gonna drop hints in the comments and hope.
Nice!
ReplyDeleteThat means you guys will start getting paid.
Can't believe I actually tried to wipe my screen because of that candy bar image.
ReplyDeleteBEST. DEAL. EVER.
ReplyDelete*oh, my sarcasm processes are working*
Can you put back the Fluttershy banner please? If its okay with you that is.
ReplyDeleteAfter some additional research I am convinced that they are legit. More good text-based spoilers there as well, but I suppose you don't want me to spoil it. You can probably find it out for yourselves, anyway.
ReplyDeleteIf they would go Apple on us, Seth would post in the next news:
ReplyDelete"Regarding the leaking of rumours: EQD comes now in the choice of a mint-blue OR a white background"
Also:
MlP:FiM > Terrorism
CNN > FOX
@Sethisto
ReplyDeleteAnd here I thought this was one of Cereal's crazy jokes. It's true?
Did they at least give you guys jobs running the site?
...or is this all some elaborate prank?
BTW, that Q in the banner reminds me of a stargate. lol.
ReplyDeleteNot just twenty bucks, but 2 hundred grands, too.
ReplyDeleteYou know, if that Luna picture didn't come with that obviously shooped (I can tell from the pixles, etc.)one I'd be tempted to believe it was real.
ReplyDeleteOh, wait, we're talking about CNN and candy now?
Guys, we all know this is a prank, like when we were sold to Google a couple months back. Besides, Seth wouldn't sell the site for 20 bucks and 2 candy bars. He'd also demand that they buy him a fanmade plushie of his choice. Or, at least, that's what I would do.
ReplyDeleteWait what? Whats this about CNN. I bet this is a joke, hope so lol
ReplyDeleteBut I WANT the evil Luna to exist!!!
ReplyDeleteWasn't this place bought by CNN before? Like about 3 months ago. Or was that Fox News, I can't remember. The internet has worn down my short term memory down to nothing.
ReplyDeleteYOU BETTER BE JOKING ABOUT THIS OR LET'S SAY TONS WILL RAGEQUIT.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean 20 dollars? I clearly see 2 Hundred Grand there!
ReplyDeleteSo...
ReplyDeleteWho got the candy bar?
bring back muh Fluttershy Banner!!!!!!
ReplyDelete@Omnipony (Omnivore)
ReplyDeleteI second this.
Sethisto has a trollface right now. I can't believe some of you actually thought it was serious. Two candy bars? I'd demand a lifetime supply of Wonka nerds. Those things are addictive.
ReplyDeleteMan! I would've given you $24.17 and a box of Count Chocula for it!
ReplyDeleteSide note: Web Worth estimates EQD to be worth $53,641.40.
I don't totally see your Liarjack expression right now Cereal
ReplyDelete*omphliarjackface*
Too many banners, I can't tell what site I am on anymore.
ReplyDeleteLol @ the people freaking out over the CNN thing.
ReplyDeleteEven if it were true, I really doubt there'd even be any noticeable change in how things were run. Some of you guys need to learn how shit works before soiling yourselves and rageposting.
CNN buys EQD
ReplyDeleteCNN is owned by Turner Network
One of Turner Networks is Cartoon Network
Turner Networks's parent company is Time Warner
Time Warner has Cartoon Network as a division
Time Warner is a subsidiary of Warner Brothers
Warner Brothers does animation for Cartoon Network
EQD WILL NOW PROMOTE CARTOON NETWORK SHOWS MORE THAN MLP!!!!
CONSPIRACYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!
*Dale Gribble runs away like a little girl over the completely implausible conspiracy theory that only makes sense to him*
Okay, I'm confused, when did this happen? CNN owns Equestria Daily? Why? And how did it all go down?
ReplyDeleteWait. What? Hold up, this too much info in too short a time! Mind doing some explaining?
ReplyDeleteOnly 20 bucks and a candy bar?
ReplyDeleteI should had bought you first.....
well, if it is true, we got a nifty archive out of the whole deal... Or did we have that yesterday?
ReplyDeleteI didn't see the banner on CNN >.>
ReplyDeleteWas I supposed to?
@evelyn
ReplyDeleteWait... nevermind >.<
And why's the site owned by CNN now? o_O
