My Little Pony - Two Bronies

I don't understand the current trend of "Bronies".  Not to be confused with brownies.  Mmmm...brownies.  Excuse me.
*Makes brownies*.
I'm back.  Bronies are typically adult men who are obsessed with My Little Pony, and spend much of their waking time watching the episodes, creating art relating to My Little Pony and even pretending to be a pony.

Why?  Because apparently that is the best use of their time, instead of, oh, I don't know....ANYTHING ELSE!

Have an example.

No, no, no!  Stop it!  My eyes!  Someone forcibly remove their man cards!
