From what I heard, murder is killing someone after due thought. I don't believe involuntary manslaughter counts, nor self-defense.
And nor does war, in my opinion.

"All murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets." - Voltaire

How funny would it be if we could play a PS3 on the Wii U controller!

Best use of the Wii U yet.

Dogs are better.

Middle East =/= Iraq.

Or Afghanistan or Libya for that matter. Or all of them combined.

When a show or movie is directed at adult men, what kind of content do the producers tend to put into it?
What kinds of cartoon/anime most adolescent and adult males watch nowadays?

I'll reiterate the point made in my first post here: it's the change.
For once, there's something they can enjoy without being constantly stimulated, yet that still makes popular culture references. Songs with tunes taken from pre-existing ones, scenes reminding them of their own childhood (Cinderella reference: Rarity's shoe in the last episode)... Characters that have flaws but do their best to improve spiritually, and not necessarily achieve a goal in the physical world...

The point(s?) you're getting at here seem to be rather... ambiguous, ethereal and/or not fleshed out.

- What do you mean by "constantly stimulated?" And how does MLP differentiate itself from that?
- Why are pop culture references a necessary part of entertainment?
- Are you saying the songs trigger nostalgia by taking tunes from preexisting songs?
- Are nods to old classics enough to make a show stand on its own?
- What on earth is meant by "improve spiritually" and "not necessarily achieving a goal in the physical world?" Are we talking about morality fables that are meant to teach simple ethical lessons rather than tell stories? If so, why is that intriguing/interesting to a mostly adult male?
