[TV] My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

O

Overflight

The definitive proof that this show has truly transcended all possible boundaries:

I found this video link on, of all things, BNET.COM

 
Episode 6: Twilight mentions different unicorns having magic for specific talents, suggesting a Brave New World style of breeding occupational traits through bloodlines and families.
 
I'm starting to understand the caste system of this version of MLP. The non-pegasus, non-unicorn ponies are the laborer class, the pegasus caste do middle class work like animal care and working closer to the top caste, and then the unicorns are the scholars and landowners.
Frankly it looks more like the 3 caste thing with Warriors, Priesthood and Workers... with the Pegasus not being very overtly warriors because of the nature of the show (the WonderBolts being pseudo-fighter pilots). And the princess and sis being the gods.

MLP shows up in the strangest places. Take the latest episode of Brows Held High: a review of The Exterminating Angels. Warning, the film being reviewed is soft-core porn, and while the nudity is censored, it's still very NSFW. I'm still deciding if I like BHH. The host, Kyle Kallgren / Oancitizen, is witty and his delivery is near-perfect, but sometimes his subject matter is not to my liking. I wouldn't have even watched this one long enough to see the hilarious insertion of MLP if I hadn't heard there was an Obscurus Lupa cameo later in the vid.
 
Up to Episode 14: What. A bunch. Of bitches. Rarity goes through all that work and they snub it. Holy shit. No wonder the Ponyville economy's in the gutter, requiring all the males to be migrant workers or gay fashion moguls.
That episode is a spot-on representation of how the artist-client relationship works. Any implications it has for the Ponyville economy should be extrapolated to our own.
 
Obviously Rarity's problem is that she's still breathing... everyone knows true art can't be appreciated until the artist is unable to receive a check and someone else benefits financially from the work they put no effort into.
