@Pykrete: I would do that, but I prefer to have physical copies. I need stuff to fill up my pony shelf.

I really hope that petition is a joke.

@ Dark, oh yeah CEQ is amazing. Just be warned. The author is going through doing some revisions to the already written stuff. Think he's up to 15 on the revisions. So after that it'll shift tone a bit. And do NOT read anything bast the name "Briarthorn" being mentioned till it's revised. Trust me, you will regret having to deal with several chapters of that egomaniac, self centered, drunken, lecherous, useless, waste of pony flesh. Wait till he's been revised.

@ the petition, meh, even if not, so what. Keep in mind, someone actually put in a petition for the US to build the Death Star.

Yeah, the petition is a joke. There's a rule that if petitions get a certain number of votes the White House has to officially respond to them. So the point of the petition isn't to actually change the national anthem, its to get Obama to have to make an official statement about My Little Pony.

Loved their response to the Death Star one.

and then this is the statement

@dark. I second Seraph's recommendation. The story isn't without its problems, but it's definitely a good read. I'm particularly fond of the worldbuilding.

I wouldn't recommend it, but most people like it.

This is amazing.

I was going to say that you should put a spoiler warning on that, but I guess it technically doesn't count since it's a fictional comic by Discord.

Discord approves Trixie's plot.

So the petition was a joke? I don't know Usually politics are very Serious Business and Fan Dumb exist in every corner. I think Poe's Law is in effect.

AGH! I now have over 100 fics in my to read list!! It just keeps getting bigger!1!

There's probably a couple of nuts that took it seriously, but adding up the numbers it's most certainly a joke.

That's not the first pony-releated petetion to end up on that site. There was once a petetion to Ban All Bronies. And let's not forget, that same website also tried to get a statue of Master Chief built in front of the White House......

@Blissey 1: Sounds like you've got a bit of a Fanfic-overdose problem there. Shame too, cause I was gonna reccomend at least one or two more fics to ya.

At least it'd be easier to sing. Star Spangled Banner demands a pretty extreme range for a song expected to be sung by laymen. Especially the drunken ones that originally composed the tune.

Opening politics to the internet? Of course you're going to get jokes.

I'm more interested in the eyepatch.

This reminds me of this.◊

Still, it would be nice if someone could ponify the lyrics.

nvm you fixed it

@Freeman: He has four kids whose mom is Pinkie if losing an eye is the worst that happens, he's lucky.

@Freeman - I don't like the color scheme. I don't think they go well together.

Big Mac's only wearing the eyepatch to look cool.

well, this is one of the most interesting concepts for an OC I've ever seen.

Well, now we know which pony Dave Strider will ride into battle.
