Ask Princess Molestia:
An illuminated scripture that received the dubious distinction of being the first book to be personally banned from publication by Princess Celestia herself in over three centuries. If the total underground sales were counted, Ask Princess Molestia would have outsold any single book of the wildly popular Daring-Do series that broke sales records by finding a large market among foals and adult ponies alike.
Though many have tried, nopony has been successful in tracking down any isolated pony community that actually believes in even part of the lurid details of the book that purports to be based on the "Alicorn Catechism of the Swamp Ponies". Academic analysis of the subtle use of parody and cultural references in the work have led to the conclusion that it is an invention out of whole cloth by an imaginative and talented author of high educational background who probably has never even met a "swamp pony", much less talked to one about their beliefs. This has not stopped the common notion that "This is What Swamp Ponies Actually Believe", and "Princess Molestia" has become a very strong perjorative for "swamp pony" and even Low Celestian beliefs that is only used when trying to provoke a reaction.
