• My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Season 2 Finale Confirmed for Greatest Thing Ever

    My wings are so pretty!

    Equestria Daily, the world's premier pony press publication, previously printed this article pertaining to princesses prancing down the aisle with pride. Presently, we are pleased to present The Hub's new press release providing prescience regarding Cadence, purported niece of Celestia. How perfect!

    That is to say, The Hub was kind enough to share a statement with us about the upcoming season finale and their plans to dial the marketing campaign up to 11 (or beyond, if they can find room on the dial). Yes, Tori Spelling is really hosting the coverage of the wedding, and yes, that is very silly. But that isn't all. They're promising teasers and activities throughout the leadup on Facebook and Twitter, and they'll be launching a new site on April 2nd which will feature brand new games and stickers and party hats and all sorts of wonderful little things for us to occupy ourselves with while we wait to see exactly what the heck our favorite animation studio has planned for us to end the season on.

    With all of these resources coming out to us, there are unfortunately a number among us without access to The Hub or who live in extremely uncooperative time zones who will have difficulty seeing the episodes (yes, that's plural) live. But that doesn't mean you should give up on the excitement. There's time to plan before April 21st rolls around, so take advantage of this and plan a party! Find some friends with the network or an internet connection that can handle a stream. Get some cake and champagne or... uh... apple cider for the festivities. Gossip and debate and wonder about everything we've seen and what it all means. Bronies, I ask you: if the fictional wedding of a pair of brightly colored, magical equines is not something to be excited over, neigh, the event of the century, then what else could possibly be so worth our time?
