Man, I was totally expecting the "A-MARE-ica, Fuck Yeah!" video to be put in the 4th of July news post.



In any case, the video that was used was... interesting.

chiselite said...

i wish we had fireworks :(

Brongaar said...

But where it matters, it is still the 4th...
Yes it is huge here.. second to only New Years Eve, in Global impact... BTW this US Holiday lands on the same weekend as Canada Day.. which is very coool.

If only Canada Day was celebrated with this much patriotism.

That's about all it is ta me, the fourth since I've never had fireworks, but hey! Maybe I'll watch some on TV or something.

Very interesting video, and very nice flag thingy. Wonder what kinds of stuff will show up here later.

Happy Independence Day!

Even though I live halfway across the world from the US I celebrate it anyways. Happy Independence Day!

Narwhals' Bend said...

This will show up here eventually, so I guess I'll be the one to do it:

Good morning. In less than an hour, pegasi from Cloudsdale will join others from around the Equestria. And you will be launching the largest equine battle in the history of ponykind. "Ponykind." That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it's fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom... Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution... but from everlasting night. We are fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as a Canterlot holiday, but as the day Equestria declared in one voice: "We will not go quietly into the everlasting night!" We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!

Bah, anybody who doesn't realize the song is satire is either too young to understand what satire is, or has their head lodged painfully far up their ass.

Please don't include me in either category.

@Ike Jager
You didn't want us to separate, but you let us after assuring you that you would still be our biggest trade partner. This benefited both of us. Also, by letting us separate, your could pull your forces in the colonies which were being kept busy by the continental army. By allowing the already mentioned separation, the British suddenly had more troops to fight the French, who had been helping the colonials, and saved money they would have spent running the colonies.

As shown above, we shouldn't be thanking you at all. If we didn't offer you enough to allow us to separate, you would have sent your superior army and crushed the new government. Fortunately for us, you were busy with some stupid argument with the French, and you got jealous that we traded with them and attacked us a few decades later.

TenchiFreak5 said...

@Anonymous

Being written by Trey Parker and Matt Stone means you would have to be a complete moron to know that it isn't satire. Its not "Born in the USA," it was the theme song for Team America.


But that doesn't mean that it doesn't also work as a piece of fun, senseless self-gratification.

Anonymous said...

Ah good ol' July 4th, our day of declaring independence. It might not mean much to everyone who does not live in the United States, but this is one of my favorite holidays. I have always been proud of this.

Also: I have a urge to go watch 1776.

Anonymous said...

Oh yeah: also forgot to say: don't fall victim tot he parasprites in the commentary. Just sayin

treble said...

@TenchiFreak5
Ack, don't know what I did there.

Anyway...

Born In The USA isn't exactly the nationalistic theme people often take it for.

It had to do with the effects of the Vietnam war on veterans and the working class.

TenchiFreak5 said...

@treble

I know. That was my point. "Born in the U.S.A." is an anti-war song famously misunderstood by just about everyone in the country after 1984. What I was saying was, at least with that song the misunderstanding is pretty fair one to make these days.



"America, Fuck Yeah" is the theme song of a movie written by the creators of South Park. It makes no sense that someone would unironically use it as a fist-pumping song about patriotism unless they were pants-on-head retarded or colossally ignorant.

Anonymous said...

Pff.

Patriotism... :/

treble said...

@TenchiFreak5

Ah, I gotcha. Sorry about that. I think we're in agreement, though.

FlutterSky said...

Awesome vid Happy 4th A-MARE-rican ponies

frith said...

@TenchiFreak5

I believe it also patriotic to snark about your country. It shows you care.

Meanwhile, Canada is a wee bit too hung over from Canada Day (and St Jean Baptiste if you hark from Quebec) to really notice the festivities down south. Carry on.

Anonymous said...

Ah, the American Revolution: the one revolution in history where you could say there was SOME toleration (unlike others...cough*frenchrevolutionof1789*cough). Afterwards, it was basically status quo between Britain and our country in everything but government (technically, we were more trade dependent with Britain due to being cut off from European industries but, oh well...). Now we celebrate this with abusing our right to blow s*** up as attempt to make sonic rainbooms out of explosives.

ToonNinja said...

Ohhhh, that Team America video felt so good.

BronyMike said...

Ahaha I love how I don't think my video has a single comment in here yet.

Anonymous said...

@TenchiFreak

Now it's not very nice or pony-like to call people retarded. I'm pretty sure 99% of us that say, "America, FUCK YEAH!" know well that it comes from a satire song. It's still funny. Call it making fun of ourselves. If anything, I'd have to say you're the ignorant one for not being open-minded to consider that, instead of just calling everyone who made the statement retarded or "colosally ignorant." These country vs. country flame wars also get incredibly old, as do the mindless insulting. Really wards people away from this website and makes the pony fanbase seem just as aggressive and heartless as every other fanbase out there.

Does this mean we can expect St George/Patricks day celebrations when they come around, Pony style? xD

TenchiFreak5 said...

@Anonymous

For starters, I'm an American.

Two, you basically just called me ignorant because I expressed the same sentiment that you just said.

Three, I've already posted "A-MARE-ica, Fuck Yeah" as my official pony celebration on two different message boards.

And I already explained in the comments above that the song was a satire but it could still be used (albeit somewhat mockingly) as a way to express genuine patriotism.

And my first comment was expressing disappointment that Seth didn't originally have it posted.


So what are you talking about?

Funny you poke fun at the french in regards to revolutionary wars when it was the French who fought americas revolutionary for them. Had more casaulties and everything (then again, the 'americans' who fought in that war were actually irish immigrants forced into fighting lest they be deported. Basically, yanks did sh*tall for their own war) kinda like the present day

The funniest thing about the rest of the world is that they call Americans ignorant bigots for bashing other countries, but it's ok for the rest of the world to bash America.

Thanks for mentioning The US's Independence Day! It's great to see that despite this being a multi-national fanbase, those in charge are still willing to put geographical differences aside to celebrate.

So let's keep the country bashing posts to a minimum, out of respect for everypony.

First of all I think congratulations are in order so happy 4th July to whom it is relevant to.

Glad to see that the comments are mostly civil (knowing the nature of pre-ponies internet this should have turned into a flamefest by now), bronies impress me to no end.

In any case, want America to leave? Fine, we'll just take our Lauren Faust and our Ponies and go.
Just kidding, love and friendship for all my good Brony friends~ ^3^
Anyways, today celebrates not only the will for Americans to stand up against oppression, but it should also be a day for ALL countries to celebrate standing up to Celes-er... tyranny!
Im talking about France, India, Australia (I think...?), Ireland, and even the great county of Equestria! Celebrate freedom today, my comrades, stand hoof in hoof and proclaim, we are free! We are free! We are FREE! It is a day for love, not hate, so enough with the bashing and put downs, we are all ponies at heart, so unite to night, my brethren, and see all our colors represented in these colorful fires in the sky!
