Hasbro... why must you take your videos off youtube?
It's not like someone like me (full-time student with a part-time job) can magically get cable, have the money to pay for it, turn the television onto Hub, and watch your show without having someone in the room laugh at them or look at them with odd faces every single time it comes up in conversation.
[Mom questioned me and seemed to realize my response of "Eeyup" in a vaguely Southern accent was not normal, not to mention the "Hipster Dash as laptop background" incident.]
Also, it's free advertising considering half the shows fanbase is online. Half of the people who are interested in the show are only able to do so online. "Why not just buy the cable if you can afford the internet?" you might ask. Well, it's either one or the other with the way money is around some of these people - I'm sure I'm not the only one out there in this predicament. I need internet not just for youtube, but for school and research and job search and college search, things I can't quite do with a TV with cable included.
So, man the f*** up and realize you'll either be losing a few supporters or finding a few rebels if you continue to knock the videos off youtube even though the people who put them up have disclaimers and (technically) have rights to for purposes of criticism and discussion.
Also, why the f*** would you not put Sleepless in Ponyville on iTunes but but the rest of the goddamned season on? Best f***ing episode in the whole goddamn show and the only one I've even considered putting on my iPod and you can't put that damn thing on the site for me to get. Brilliant decision, Hasbro. F***ing brilliant.
In other dubious news, I found a paperback copy of ["Fallout Equestria" volume 1 on Amazon. It's the first actual brony fandom thing I've bought and seems a little strange to me, but the reviews were good - and Fallout is a good game/series - that I figured why not. I say dubious because isn't there some sort of copyright on this sort of thing? It just strikes me as odd.
