My "WTF?" news story of the day...

[Archae]

I mean, I like the show too, but...

The Internet—the global system of interconnected networks that’s become an increasingly central means of commerce and communication capable of bringing far-flung civilizations together—reached its apex this week, after a man claiming to be the fiancé of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic character Twilight Sparkle contacted a user of online community DeviantArt to demand he stop drawing sexual pictures of his imaginary pony-bride. The request was made in a letter that was then published in full on the Internet, which no longer has any reason to exist, having achieved everything it has ever set out to do.

4. I just see it as free publicity for My Little Pony

Like when someone disses Kim Cardachshund and it's all over the "news". A little publicity for Deviant Art as well. And as for the Internet having done its job? I would say you ain't seen nuthin yet.
