Staring into the Abyss

So, I'm a naturally curious person. When something makes the rounds of the internet, and then keeps going for months, I'm going to have to check it out.
And this one, I resisted. I wouldn't touch it for awhile. But eventually, I had to give in, to search for the answer of why. Why was the Internet so obsessed with such a silly thing?
So I did the only thing I could do: I downloaded the pilot of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, and fired it up in VLC.
And I enjoyed it.
And then I kept watching.
Weeks later, I am still reeling from the impact of this event, my world view lies shattered around me in a billion fragments. And yet I cannot but continue down this rabbit hole, sucked in to the abyss, nothing more than the latest victim to be claimed.

Seriously, it's Ardus' fault, I probably could have ignored it if I didn't have to stare at his avatar every day.
As far as the show itself goes... It has some serious low points, since its primary function is and has been as a 30-minute advertisement to sell toys to little girls, but damn, did they put a lot of effort into this one. If you have little siblings/kids/relatives and don't want to suffer through the usual drivel, burn this !@#$ onto a DVD. No, seriously. Aforementioned low points aside, it's not bad, and dare I say, even good. Even about half of the musical numbers can be sat through (since more often than not they're used to make fun of a certain ADHD-riddled character). Parental bonus content aplenty in this, as well as humor that any audience can appreciate. And actual character development, something that is unheard of in the genre of "30-minute toy advertisements for little girls."
