  1. "Though the show had been discussed on 4chan's cartoon forum before the essay's publication, the alarmist nature of the essay led to more interest in the show" WOW. This is like, the most accurate article on Wikipedia. Holy crap.

      2. @abigpony Totally serious. Nobody ever mentions that the show was already being talked about before that article ever appeared. Which leads me to wonder how long that particular tidbit will even stay present in the wikipedia article, given the way that site likes to operate.

        1. @toksyuryel Wait, what/ Why wouldn't it stay? Of course people were talking about it before. Like, alot of people.

          1. @abigpony Wikipedia sources its articles from journalism as much as possible, and pretty much all of those reports claim that the article is responsible for even alerting people to the show's existence.

            1. @toksyuryel Well it did draw alot of attention, but I think you people unestimate Wikipedia's reliability sometimes. They're not 100% accurate 100% of the time, but they're pretty good.

    2. "The Pirate Party Germany's parliamentary group in the Abgeordnetenhaus of Berlin (the Berlin state parliament) has insisted on the inclusion of a break called "pony time", in which an episode from the series is shown, during their meetings at their parliamentary office, which displeased many other members in the Berlin parliament...." what is this?

        2. @toksyuryel That...seems more like an exercise in burning political credibility to score internet points than anything else.
