In an unscheduled meeting last night, the German Pirate Party's executive board resolved to change the party's name to Pony Party. At the same time, they also agreed upon several important changes to the party's official corporate design.
From today on, the Pony Party, formerly known as Pirate Party of Germany, presents itself in a new look. The reason for the change of name and the new design that comes with it is the desperate need for a reorientation with regards to the party's political goals. A complete reboot was neccessary, especially taking into account several laws the federal parliament recently passed.
The Pony Party's chief executive, Bernd Schlömer, comments:
"With the new Leistungsschutzrecht, which grants publishers a kind of monopoly on internet articles, and with new laws granting police excessive access to citizens' personal data, Germany has once and for all turned itself into a banana republic when it comes to internet law.
Of course, that's an insult to countries that actually live on the production of bananas. Obviously, politicians in the German parliament lack any sense of reality. Even though a politicians' behaviour should be an example for all to follow, in reality, their lack of diligence and responsibility is clear for all to see when you take a look at how many of them actually bother to show up for the important parliamentary votes.
For politicians of established parties, who rely on one or two party executives to make their decisions for them and then forgo any sort of critical thinking under the guise of faction discipline, Germany as a whole and politics in particular seem to be a vacation at the pony ranch."
With that in mind, it seems only right for the Pirate Party to follow suit and adapt to the circumstances.
From today on, the German Pirate Party shall thus be known as the Pony Party of Germany.

Low gravity dance party and Moonwalks with Luna? Count me in!BronyCon Announces New Location for its 2014 ConventionBronyCon is showing that the sky truly isn’t the limit by bringing you an “out of this world” experience by taking its convention to the moon for BronyCon 2014.“We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard.” Zephyr Sparkle, convention chair of BronyCon, said in a very reminiscent speech.Sparkle went on to explain “that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win.”BronyCon is leaving no energy to spare as they have already contracted construction of the moon base necessary for the event. The “Mane Event Hall” in the base is said to be able to accommodate up to 12,000 people for its annual music festival, BronyPalooza. That’s double the space available for its 2013 event! There will also be a special con discount rate for lodging on the moon.Such an endeavor is not cheap, but BronyCon is doing its best to keep things affordable for its attendees. However, if you are one of those who don’t mind spending a few extra bits to help out, BronyCon is making a new sponsorship level called the “Lunar Sponsorship Badge.”For just $10,000, the Lunar Sponsorship includes some very enticing perks such as free hotel room on the moon base, laser engraving of your name on the moon’s surface, a private walk with the real Princess Luna, thumbs up from John de Lancie and much more! A full list of perks and their stipulations are detailed in the video announcement.
“The thing is,” Sparkle said, “BronyCon has already marked itself as the largest convention for bronies on Earth. We just wanted to broaden that scope to go a little bit beyond our planet.”
For more information about BronyCon 2014’s new location on the moon, visit the BronyCon 2014 page. Keep an eye out for registration as this will truly be a once in a life time experience!
