Yes, I still don't get it. 5 or more years ago My Little Pony was just strictly for little girls; heck, things I played with when I was a child. Now suddenly the internet loves it.
Seriously, the internet always finds the way to creep me out. Memes and rickrolls and lolcats and the 'word' lol (and several others: ROFL, etc.), unicorns, pedo bears, sad Keanu, cakes that are lies, stupid pink cubes, crapy photoshopped images with white text on top of them, nyan cats, fail fails and fail things, stolen staplers, abridged series, the misspelling of the word "the", the over-usage of the words "awesome" and "epic", Gerard Butler yelling "this is Sparta", "I can has" (I mean, what the fuck is that?), vuvuzelas, "you done goofed", "backtraced", "cyberpolice", and now ponies, among other things.
I mean, when did the internet transformed from an information superhighway meant to make our lives easier, be connected to people and have information with the touch of a button, to a huge compendium of stupid things. Does this actually make our lives better? Is this an improvement? Do we really need all that crap?
