My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

To you, maybe, but I doubt you've asked anyone in Equestria about the nuances of lying.

Just going out on a limb here, but since the show tries to teach applicable life lessons, the kids watching the show would probably place the act of withholding information in the same category of lying. Either way, it's keeping the truth from someone.

Yeah, Applejack is supposed to be honest, I really hated that she was being a liar

I'm just gonna point you to a thread on another forum. There's an effortposter there by the name Headless Horse, and if you skim his posts in the thread you'll get a good idea that it's not as black and white as you may think.

Also, if all ponies were as true to the basest description of their Element as possible at all times, Pinkie's Adventures in Babysitting would have ended a lot worse. Also, Rarity would never be Rarity.

Italian MLP opening. I was skeptical at first, because it was all just clips from the show and a few from the recent episodes, but at the 1:00 mark, it shows Applebloom in some sort of roller derby.

Either way, it's a pretty epic song.

I found something pretty cool. Max Gilardi, creator of Apple.mov and Dress.mov, did a small write up trying to explain why adult men enjoy the show. I know he's not an official spokesman for the unintended demographic, but his explanation seems solid for something somewhat difficult to express. More importantly, he emphasizes on the "How?" which kind of acts as a substitution for the "Why?"

I thought maybe this could put in the OP since any non-regular of this thread who comes here pretty much asks the same question, so a link to a detailed answer of a frequently asked question would be convenient. But, it's your thread GNF, so it's your call. Here's the post:

Why Adult Men Like My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic.

Applejack lying was not awesome, that is all.

[DerLindwurm]

Yeah, emo sore-loser Applejack seemed a lot weaker than the Applejack we usually know and love.

So the new episode was good, but it had too much singing. And no one learned anything new. That like never happens.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not, because if not, then the irony is delicious.

And you should watch more musicals.

Much better episode than the week before. Granny Smith seemed a little too eager to bet the farm (literally), but otherwise, good stuff.

Funny how the mob that was so quick to bash the Apple farm early on so willingly came to their rescue later, but hey, real-life mobs are funny like that too.
