    1. @eqdpony who is andrew wk and why should we care about him

      1. @redenchilada Andrew W.K. is Pinkie Pie in human form, man!

        1. @scribus I don't care. Sounds like some loon riding the fandom for fame.

          1. @redenchilada He actually predates bronies by over a decade, but I can see your point of view.

      2. @redenchilada He is a man who is, as far as can be determined, powered by partying. And also is apparently a brony since discovering a PMV of Pinkie dancing to one of his songs.

        1. @bitshift I don't get what makes him so important that people need to latch onto him. Yeah, it's neat that big people watch the same show we do, but do we really need to give them so much attention based solely on that fact? He's a "special guest" at Canterlot Gardens, for pete's sake.

          1. @redenchilada Canterlot Gardens? There's your problem.

            1. @thelastgherkin I actually know the guy heading it (from dancey game communities). He's a pretty cool guy, but I can't agree with how he's setting up the con.

          2. @redenchilada Apparently a lot of people had already concluded "Andrew W.K. and Pinkie are pretty similar" (on no other ground than both love parties, as far as I can tell), so when Andrew W.K. discovered the show, that same portion of the fandom went a little insane.

            1. @bitshift Eh. I'm just gonna chalk it up to "some people are really silly" and leave it alone. I still don't like the shirt, though.

    2. @eqdpony Wow. Hasbro really approved a shirt covered in blood?

      Wednesday, 11-Jul-12 20:25:09 UTC from web
      1. @thelastgherkin I'm hoping someone gets him for that, honestly. I wouldn't want that shirt floating out in the world where little girls might see someone wearing it.

        Wednesday, 11-Jul-12 20:26:57 UTC from web
      2. @thelastgherkin Maybe they didn't and that's why it's limited edition.

        Wednesday, 11-Jul-12 20:27:14 UTC from web
      3. @thelastgherkin I... Uh... Yeah, what.

        Wednesday, 11-Jul-12 20:27:36 UTC from web
    3. @eqdpony ...is it just me or does Pinkie have 2 copies of her mane (with one slightly rotated)?

      Wednesday, 11-Jul-12 20:32:15 UTC from web
      1. @bitshift IT'S NOT EVEN A WELL-MADE SHIRT. I COULD FART OUT A BETTER SHIRT THAN THAT.

        Wednesday, 11-Jul-12 20:35:40 UTC from web
        1. @thelastgherkin So glad that I spelled that second "shirt" correctly.

          Wednesday, 11-Jul-12 20:40:09 UTC from web
          1. @thelastgherkin I'm laughing like an eight-year-old boy, hepl

            Wednesday, 11-Jul-12 20:41:14 UTC from web
    4. @greydragon412 Yeah, I never quite got it either, but that's the deal with the shirt, at least.

    5. @scribus It still seems like a pretty strange thing to combine with something that is (despite the secondary audience) still a children's show.

      1. @bitshift No stranger than the Danzig reference shirt, IMO: http://www.welovefine.com/1212-heavy-metal-discord.html

        1. @scribus Even then, that's just a scarier-looking Discord to those who don't get the reference, whereas the A.W.K. shirt is still Pinkie bleeding from her nose, whether or not you get the reference.
