- The “brony” phenomenon continues apace. Here’s a high school graduation speech inspired by the My Little Pony movies.
- Meanwhile, local TV in the US debates the moral content of the pink ponies:
- I freely admit to knowing nothing about gaming, but even I’ve picked up the fact that a marquee-name game called Skyrim has just been released. Unfortunately they seem to have a few bugs, including this flying horse. They really need to slap wings on it and call it a feature (more info about other glitch in which a horse and wagon flip over a wall here):
- and in a different league of bros and ponies, rumours are flying in Australia that a giant horse-head sculpture by British artist Nic Fiddian-Green is being imported to stand over the grave of media mogul Kerry Packer, a keen polo player and art collector in his day. News.com.au has some beautiful, weird photographs of the horse-head (called “I Look Beyond for a Distant Land”) beginning its journey to the Antipodes.
PS – videos don’t appear to be working on WordPress. Have added them as links until the glitch gets sorted out.
Bronies seem kinda like homegrown otaku imo. (And having recently experienced the video problem on my own WP, I found if you click on the ‘old embed code’ option in YouTube and copy-past that code into your entry, that works. Btw both video links you posted are currently ‘not found’. Poltergeiste I’m guessing.)
