Wal-Mart Bungles the Bronies

It's been reported in several venues that Wal-Mart is seling T-shirts aimed at that rich, broad demographic known as Bronies, Equestria Daily notes that they didn't quite get it right:

Perhaps because I have a young daughter, I can tell you what's wrong with this. Wrong Ponies. Those are old, non-hip MLP design.

ADS This is cute, but man, it takes its time getting its point across.

You may wince when the kid picks up the violin. But wait for it. The story regards this as having a "payoff," but I think it may be the best argument against early childhood music lessons.

D'OH The Simpsons opening IRL. It's a few months old, but it's new to me. Am I just suffering an excess of morning coffee, or do you find yourself leaning forward, thinking: faster. Speed it up. FASTER.

Zits, as usual, is better. It's a better-drawn strip, and usually funnier. (In the context of "comic page funny," anyway.) That Grimm thing has been going on for what, 40 years? Why did it start? Whats the point? We'll figure out the meaning of the Easter Island statues before that one's explained.
