    Why? Just why?

    [size=+1](Rant that's Unrelated to) Community (Affairs) Post #108[/size]​

    I don't get why people have to dress up their pet.

    My mum is a dab hand at knitting and has been working for a few weeks now making jumpers. Because she likes to, I assume. And who can blame her, those jumpers are pretty sweet. Plus, who else could make a kick-ass woolly Dumbledore?

    [​IMG]
    This isn't it but it's almost as cool

    It's the books she has sitting around here. I mean...I, just...

    They're on how to make knitted items for your dogs. You know, the four-legged creatures covered in fur that keeps them warm, protected and get's thicker during the winter months. One of the many animals I can think of that would not benefit from being covered in a thick layer of brightly coloured material that came from another animals coat.

    You are doubling the amount of animal coat here. Double! There's only a few animals that would be happy with such developments;

    - Cats because they like warm and soft things.

    - Bald Eagles because it could cover that bald spot they all have

    - Pandas because if they don't have babies to give them cute appeal, they need something else. Plus, cages are cold.

    - Primates because they can totally rock that look, yo!

    Everything else will try and wriggle free. I've seen my dog do it over and over. She doesn't like jumpers or even her harness. She'll roll around like her brain forgot that dogs don't twist all the way around in the middle, looking to grab hold and pull if she can. If she can't, she'll just whine and complain and bark and stare.

    Oh. Oh the stare.

    That look of downtrodden betrayal. It just says "For the Love of All that's Holy, take this stuff off". The wide-eyes, the constant eyes hoping to lock onto yours just to convey the message of their confusion. They have a coat, why do they have another one? What is this thing on their head? They can't eat it and you won't let them play with it so what is it for? They love you too much to be angry, they're just disappointed.

    Don't get me started on the dog costumes...

    [​IMG]
    [size=+1]YOU HAVE A CAMERA TOO?![/size]​

    How could they be so cruel?!

    The only time I will concede that a dog needs an extra coat is in winter and it's a short haired dog. They can have a jumper if they so wish. Otherwise, give them to the monkeys!

    See? There are humans that can't pull of this guy's level of swagger. Some peeps just have it.

    They're all available on Everypony radio. Remember, we're on Ponyville Live and HoofSounds so it's like we never have to leave.

    We can stay. Forever and ever and ever and I'm being told I'm being too creepy. Excuse me...

    In other news; Ponies of the UK! Guess what? The Everypony Smash Bros. Tournament just got one of it's big prizes. Would you like to see what?

    Yep, you can win a little piece of retro gaming heaven: A See-Through Game Boy Pocket. The only game we have with it is something called 'Wave Race' but we'll find other things for you to play on your new doodad. Don't worry.

    But be warned, I'm growing kinda attached to it. I might not want to give it up without a fight when you win it...

    Aaaaaaanypony excited for Rainbow Rocks? I have to admit, I'm a little lukewarm. Equestria Girls only ranked an OK, I'm baffled as to why the movies force us into another dimension. Can we not have an entire movie with the ponies themselves? The thing we enjoy from the show and the reason we'd show up?

    Regardless of my cynicism (of which seems to be in full swing this week), Hasbro has released a few teasers and such. If you haven't caught them yet, take a looksy!

    Speaking of sneaky peaks, how about the Season 5 Preview released at the San Diego Comic Con? Yes, that got your attention, huh?

    If that's not enough, how about what you'd like to appear in the next Season? I want Twilight to finally admit her feelings and true love!

    I want her to marry her library, gosh darn it!

    I do believe hugs are required here. Just be careful, that avatar is a little concerning.

    I didn't know the Joker had a nephew that played in a grunge rock band.

    And lastly, The Brony Thank You Fund 2015 Calenders are now available. It's a $10 donation for something that looks pretty high quality. Plus, it's for charity! Always a worthy thing even if they were offering $10 bottles of mud.

    Although, that's pricey mud.

    Anyway, I'm gonna sign off because my dog is attempting strange contortions again. She's been struck with a t-shirt that says "Puggin' and Living Large".

    Because it's meant to be 'Thuggin'' and my dog is part pug. How this t-shirt hasn't combusted with a pun this bad, I have no idea...

    Clothing on animals is horrible; why would anyone subject them to such things!? They've already got one coat to wear. Dx

    On another note, for those who haven't noticed yet, I have left the staff as of a while ago. 'Twas fun while it lasted, but obviously not everything lasts forever.

    I might be the only one who would find a corgi in a cardigan even more giggle-worthy...

    [​IMG]

    There is actually a breed of dog called the Cardigan Corgi (not to be confused with the Pembroke Corgi... The Queen's favoured pooch)

    I'm sure an explanation will make itself known in time.

    For now, we'll just have to wait.

    I'm sorry, but why is Foxy back? He didn't spend much time other than in the staff room.

    Put someone on who's doing things :I

    P.S. Foxy, I have nothing against you, so please don't take it that way, you just aren't worthy of the place as of right now.

    Let's just give a little time for answers to arise.

    But please... staff, be transparent this time. You can leave the drama-causing stuff out, but please please please please please ​just be honest and tell us what's going on.

    Fulcrum has stepped down for personal reasons. Nothing further needs to be said on this.
    More answers about staff changes will be forthcoming. We thank you for your patience.

    I'd like to add a personal note that if I don't feel the community post explains what's going on then I shall personally post an announcement or blog to make everything clear. The site wants transparency, and I know this, but it also needs tact, otherwise the drama multiplier will be [obligatory joke here].
