The News From Poughkeepsie - Day 70

July 9th, 2008 • Related • Filed Under

Settings Tuesdays:

The world of My Pretty Pony is one beset by war and strife. Their society started innocently enough, with the branding of the young ones with cute icons, but later those brands became akin to gang signs, and the ponies would group together based on nothing more than signs. Astronomical signs vs water signs was a particularly bloody war, and the heart signs vs rainbow signs was tense, but stable, until recently. It breaks my heart to look at them and know the bloody past. The gang members keep branding new foals to keep the cycle of violence up, and it will take a talented mediator to end the decades-long hatred.

    I was just having a conversation with someone at work about which sides the various Carebears would take in a war.

    This reminds me of that Robot Chicken with the Care Bears committing genocide. Brilliant.
