Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for March 17, 2013
Transcript:
Marigold: Playing "Pastel Unicorns?" Phoebe: Yeah... Marigold: Then why so glum? Phoebe: My "Boysenberry Swirl" is out of date now. On the show she got wings! So now I have to decide if I wanna get a new toy of her, or what. Also there's a rumor online that next season, Pink Tafetta might grow a second head, so I might nead another one of her too. Capitalism is weird. Marigold: Indeed. Those things seldom happen to real unicorns.

Seldom?, that sounds as the goats… I mean, two-ni-corns in Yin Yang Yoh.

There is a Gobelin tapestry where the unicorn has 3 heads. Has a salmon background. Angor Thom has a 5 headed. + head more common with the hippocampus sea horse than unicorn.

PHE needs to actually be a capitalist. If she were working for her $, she’d know exactly how much labor she is willing to swap for updating her set..?Parents can’t be handing her $20 whenever she asks? There’s no way a kid can afford the phone she’s holding.

Agreed Phoebe.

Its called planned obsolescence. The show exists to sell merchandise. Characters change in order to create new marketing opportunities. Real unicorns have nothing they want to sell and so can remain timeless and constant.Remember Phoebe without capitalism their would be no wealth. Capitalism, the worst economic system, except for everything else that has been tried, which have proven to be even worse.

I have never seen the show, just the ads pushing the merchandise.

Seldom? but that means they DO happen? Also great cometary on Twilight Sparkle and what I hope happens to Pinkie Pie.
