Friends,

You may have heard of the new TV show “My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic” – this series is aimed at young girls. According to the liberal-biased encyclopedia Wikipedia, “The show has been critically praised for its humor and moral outlook” – but is that really the case? Recently Shelley Goodman and I watched a few episodes of this series and found a great deal that responsible pro-family parents should be concerned about.

STR Fact-Sheet: My Little Pony Friendship is Magic is an animal-fantasy animation series aimed at girls aged 5 to 12. Originally launched in the 1980s, it has become popular again due to strong artistic direction and and more “edgy” themes. We feel that viewer caution should be advised, especially in the case of young children who have not yet been re-born in Christ. The show includes troubling themes such as the occult, paganism and witchcraft.

The show tells the story of six “ponies” and their various adventures. Anybody who has spent time working with livestock will confirm that these are unrealistic depictions of horses and ponies. Were the lack of realism the only problem we would have no objections to allowing this show on TV, however we found a great many more issues:

• The depiction of ponies in this series is un-biblical. According to the Bible (Gen 1:26) man has been given dominion over all beasts (including ponies), and thus the portrayal of these worker-animals as talking intelligent creatures with their own will and personality is clearly in contradiction to God’s teaching.  We would have preferred to see a more realistic portrayal of God’s creation, for example showing young men and women working the land with their ponies just as God intended. As everybody knows, Man (created in God’s image) is the only life on earth born with a soul, and capable of moral reasoning. To suggest that ponies might also have souls undermines the entire basis of the Christian Bible.

Disturbing- is this show suitable for yong girls?

• The show is created by a young woman named Lauren Faust – if that names seems familiar to you it should be: According to legend, Faust was the name of the person who sold his soul to the devil in return for great wealth and power. It’s highly probable that Satan has chosen Ms Faust to be his modern-day emissary of evil. The signs are clear.
• From what we can tell, the ponies do not seem to have any belief in God. There was not one single reference to Christianity, Jesus or the Holy Bible in any of the episodes we watched. There were countless references to paganism, the occult and black-magic. We are concerned that watching this show might encourage young girls to experiment with the dark arts. We advise any parents who suspect their child has seen this show to consult their pastor.

Typical female My Little Pony fans: Is this an acceptable way for a young woman to dress?

• While ponies are certainly real animals, and unicorns definitly did exist (Job 39:9-12), “Pegasus Ponies” appear to be a creature found only in ancient greek pagan religions. We do not understand why Hasbro felt the need to include this obviously false pagan hogwash other than to cause further confusion in the minds of young girls.
• The show presents a biblically incorrect cosmology. Starting with the very first episode it claims that the sun and the moon’s motion is caused by a pair of winged unicorns. This is wrong as the Bible states that the motion of the planets is due to God’s will alone.
• The show is socialist: Various ponies appear to practice trades (for example Pinkie-Pie is a baker, Rarity is a seamstress and Twilight Sparkle is an occultist), and yet they do not appear to charge for their services (even the satanic Ms Sparkle), this is a model of a communist society envisaged by Marx. There’s no money or entrepreneurship. Is this an acceptable role model for young girls?
• In a number of episodes the Pegasus Pony Rainbow-Dash is seen controlling the weather. Young people should know that only God has the power to influence our environment (Psalms 148:8, Jonah 1:4). This is yet another blatant lie intended to corrupt American girls.

Who controls the weather? Most leading scholars agree that only God can control storms – however this show wants us to believe that a blue pony has God’s power!

If these were the only faults in the series, I might conclude that Hasbro were ignorant dupes however there is a great deal more to be concerned with. In Episode 23 “The Cutie Mark Chronicles” three young ponies calling themselves “The Cutie Mark Crusaders” go on a quest to find a magical picture for their hind-quarters. The fact that they have called themselves “Crusaders” is ironic given that their quest seems to have nothing to do with Christ! Any child viewing this episode might conclude that our savior died so that you can have a tatoo on your your butt!

The Cutie-Mark Crusaders? If they are not crusading for Christ, then who? This is a question that all responsible parents should ask.

We found this show very disappointing – as with any product from the liberal media you should never believe the hype. Time and time again the show’s producers passed up the opportunity to deliver a moral message grounded in Biblical values in favor of cheap entertainment. We do not doubt the show’s popularity amongst secular audiences however they have a great deal more work to do if they want to create something as successful as  the excellent Veggie-Tales.

If only this were not the most disturbing aspect of the show: It may seem astonishing and implausible but there is a growing group of older male fans of this show. They call themselves “Bronies” – many of the web-resources dedicated to the show are built by these bronies in order to attract more children to the show. While there are no doubt some male fans who enjoy the show for their own personal reasons, we should all be suspicious of a grown men who watch cartoons!

What can you do to stop My Little Pony:

• Ask your children whether they have seen this cartoon – if they have read from the instructive Bible passages referenced above to correct any misconceptions they may have learned from the show.
• Explain to your daughter that ponies do not have souls – they are merely beasts of burden. Explain that it is sinful and unbiblical to think otherwise. Help your children understand what real ponies are like: Take them to a farm or your local petting zoo. Explain to your child that real ponies were created by God, not Lauren Faust!
• Warn your children away from older men who like My Little Pony – they are almost certainly pederasts or perverts. Explain to your kids that if they ever meet a “brony” they are to tell a responsible adult such as your pastor or a fellow church-going parent.
• Whenever you see an episode of this cartoon on the Internet, “Flag” it as harmful. Do whatever you can to get this content off the internet.
• And most importantly: Prayer – together with Jesus we can get this sick filth of the TV

We tried to warn y’all that riding a bike instead of driving a car would lead to sin, sodomy, economic collapse and the death of America.  But you wouldn’t listen.  "Ha ha," you snickered in you’re high pitch homo laugh, "it’s just a bike.  What wrong with riding a bike?  You don’t use no gas.  You help the ‘environment’.  You get exercise.  Ain’t nothing wrong with riding a bike!"

One of these days one of two things is gonna happen -

1) Y’all will start listening to us when we tell you to listen to God

2) You’re gonna wake up with the flesh burning off your body in Hell and wished you’d listened to us when we told you to listen to God.

Satan can’t wait to get you into Hell so he
can’t torture you for all eternity.  And it ain’t
gonna be easy torture like waterboarding.

What did riding a bike get us?  The World Naked Bike Ride , that’s what, and if that don’t make God angry enough to bring about the Rapture, then I don’t know what will.

What’s The World Naked Bike Ride?  It’s people riding bikes…NAKED.  Right out in plain view!  Taking their clothes off and showing their nakedness not only in front of God but in front of people they ain’t got no cause to show their nakedness to!  Imagine leaving church with your young son one afternoon only to be confronted with thousands of naked people on bikes!  What kinda damage is that gonna inflict on that poor child?  What kinda horrible nightmares will he about getting chased by oversized breasts and genitalia?  Is that gonna instill the proper sense of shame that God gave to Adam and Eve about their nakedness?  Or is it gonna spur him on to rip off his clothing and join a filthy hippie bike commune?

I’d say yes.

Bike riding can lead to lesbianism, homosexuality, body painting
and white slavery.

And it goes beyond disobeying the word of God.  It’s a blow to the American economy which runs on oil, coal and natural gas.  Guess who loves riding bikes?  Commies and yurpeens, that’s who.  How are their economies doing?  Not as good as ours.  Why?  Cuz we don’t ride bikes. Americans are putting money back into the economy every time they go to the pump unlike the selfish and self-serving so-called "citizens of the world" who don’t care about their economy cuz they don’t wanna work anyway.  They’d rather just ride around the countryside picking loganberries and singing The Internacionale.

Support America!  Drive a car!

We got just about 2 weeks to "git ‘er done" and repeal the 22nd amendment to let President Bush win the glorious War On Terror!  Y’all need to download the petition and get everybody to sign it.   And to answer yer question – God’s will is gonna get done but that don’t mean that we should let these lie-berals punch us in the face.  You don’t stand in front of a truck and hope that God’s gonna stop it before it hits ya.

God is Love!

Colors can be ugly.
My name is Hans Meier. I live in Munich, Germany and I want to tell you a little something about Germany. I am an avid STR-reader for many years. I have learnt a lot about America, about Terrorism and last but not least about Germany, my own country. I am grateful to have dual citizenship. This might safe my life some day. If Germany is turning brown again, I can leave and be safe in America.

I regret to inform you all that Shelley is mostly right with what she tells us about Germany.

Nazism is definitely on the rise in Germany. You see flags everywhere. Germans get violent if you even only criticize Germany. Foreigners get beat up. Germans begin hating again. Violence against foreigners is as normal as Bratwurst. Especially Americans are the target of brutal attacks.

Patriotism is generally OK, I think, but there is a point when patriotism becomes toxic. This point is reached when the majority of people think that their country can do no wrong. That other countries, other people and other lives are not worth as much. This is what happened in World War 1 (11,000,000 deaths), this happened in World War 2 (55,000,000 deaths) and it is about to happen again. How many millions have to die this time, just because Germans can’t control their hate for the rest of the world? Are they going to start burning Jews again? Or will Americans be the target? You never know where blind patriotism and blind hate for everything different will go.

Another aspect that is deeply troubling is the moral decay in Germany. Germans call the German flag “Schwarz Rot Geil”. Translated that means “Black Red ‘Horny‘. Many tourists complain about the sexual misconduct happening all over Germany. Wild ‘Octoberfest’-orgies in the south, whorehouses in Hamburg and minors working as hookers in Berlin. Religion is almost non-existing in Germany. Germans are not firmly grounded in Biblical truth. The results are terrifying.

The following are pictures and descriptions that will tell you a lot about today’s Germland:

• 1. Face painted in the “Ugly Colors”. Open display of German-Style Patriotism and sexuality.
• 2. Drinking and screaming (mostly obscenities).
• 3. Female breasts painted in the “Ugly Colors” and displayed in public.
• 4. Abusing animals for fun. If the crab would be smarter it would never carry the Germ-flag.
• 5. Shameless display of a naked body.
• 6. The “Ugly Colors” painted on a female butt. What does that mean?
• 7. Three German sluts offering sexual favors to soccer players.
• 8. Fat German slut breeding more nazis.
• 9. German bulldog, abused by making it wear the “Ugly Colors”.
• 10. Another German breeder painting her stomach. Don’t you have any decency?
• 11. Two fat germans, apparently proud to be fat.
• 12. German breeder with soccer ball painted on her stomach. Are we supposed to kick you?
• 13. “We are the Champions”. When it comes to killing innocent people only.
• 14. Hard to decide: Kicking her ugly face of kicking the fat ball? Both has its benefits.
• 15. Naked German punk slut. She is probably trying to have animal sex.
• 16., 17. & 18. More pregnant sluts. The sign says: Breeding our new generation of Nazis.
• 19. What do you call that sickness? Getting undressed to visit a soccer game? Slut!
• 20. I know where to kick here!
• 21. Why don’t you come right out and paint that swastika on your stomach? Be honest!
• 22. The true colors of a German slut.
• 23. to 35. There must be a uniquely German ‘Slut-Gene’.
• 36. German dogs are just as ugly as their masters.
• 37. More sluts.
• 38. I don’t even want to know what’s in them glasses.
• 39. I am getting sick of seeing whores.
• 40. More animal abuse.
• 41. “Flaggenmeer”. A see of flags. Watch a Hitler documentary and you know all about it.
• 42. Have you ever seen something uglier?
• 43. This young nazi is using her dog to promote nazism.
• 44. One more slut.
• 45. Punk slut offering sexual favors to soccer fans. The usual rate is 20 Euro-Dollar.
• 46. Most German parents indoctrinate their children into becoming nazis.
• 47. Ok. It’s number 5 again.
• 48. German house. In Germany it’s required by law to display a flag.
• 49. Do I have to comment on that? I am feeling sick.
• 50. Ok. I am sick and tired of German slut breeders.
• 51. A face I like to punch: The typical German.
• 52. Patriotism does not stop at the bathroom door…
• 53. … and not at the kitchen door.
• 54. See the cold stare? She is a blind nazi follower. Burned any Jews yet, slut?
• 55. Germany’s history is incredibly bloody. Germland was built on Jewish blood.
• 56. This is where it gets dangerous. The “Flaggenmeer”.
• 57. German’s most famous soccer player is doing the “Hitlergruss”, the “Hitler Greeting” in public. Unfortunately this is widely accepted in today’s Germany.

STR readers who were kids during the 1980s might remember the ?Super Mario Brothers Super-Show?, back then one of the most bizarre Saturday morning shows. What many of you may not know is that this hyper-frenetic kids TV show was was turned into a series of video games that became somewhat popular in Japan.

Former champ wrestler “Captain” Lou Albano still makes a living by providing the voice of Nintendo’s Mario. Only the crazy Japanese could have been inspired to make a game from Lou’s crazy ideas!

Nintendo must be running out of ideas because this years’s over-hyped game is a return to Lou Albano’s psychedelic drug-fueled ?World of Mario?.

Nintendo have chosen this mediocre game as the subject of a multi million dollar advertising campaign. They intend to promote their red-capped plumber to a new generation of kids, but is that going to be enough to tempt kids away from Madden and some of the season’s excellent sporting titles.Super Mario Galaxy for Nintendo’s budget-price Wii console is basically a re-hashing of their 1991 ?classic? Super Mario Sunshine, in fact astute readers will notice that it shares exactly the same plot!

This is hardly likely to be a problem for Nintendo because almost nobody who has played the previous generation of Mario’s antics will be young enough to consider buying this ‘re-booted’ Mario.

As with all of Mario’s games, the story is simple and largely irrelevant to the action: Mario’s girlfriend ?Princess Peach? has been once-again kidnapped by ?Bowser?, a satanic, spiked dragon-like demon. Rather than inform the relevant authorities, Mr Mario sets out as a sort of vigilante in order to rescue his beloved.

In order to rescue Peach the red-capped plumber has to collect satanic pentagrams, mis-translated as ?power-stars? with which Mario intends to increase his own demonic power to rival Bowser’s. These pentagrams are scattered around a number of ?galaxies? through which Mario must battle his way in order to retrieve. Pentagrams are rewarded for taking risks, performing stunts or acts of aggression

Troubling: Pentagrams like these are the object of Mario’s quest. The Japanise occultists who provided the inspiration for Mario’s galaxy clearly believed that kids would be more likely to believe in it if they made the occult symbols cute.

Mario is an excessively violent game: Mario must defeat a series of enemies by slamming into them, attacking them with a hammer, incinerating them or by jumping on their heads. I hate to think what might happen if impressionable liberal teens try to imitate Mario’s preposterous acrobatics. A game this violent should certainly come with stern disclaimers.

I downloaded this image from a teen Mario fan’s web-site. “Powned” is hacker slang for “murdered”. The child is throwing a red igloo and an unidentified device at the girl – an all too familiar picture of liberal on liberal game-related violence. Anybody who thinks that video games do not encourage violence should look at this image and think hard.

The bad news does not end there: Assisting Mario and his brother Wario is a cohort of drug-peddling ?Lumas? – star like beings who provide Mario with magic-mushroom like power-ups which in typical RPG style enhance his fighting ability.

The most valuable commodity the Lumas sell are ?star-bits? – the World of Mario equivalent of crack-cocaine. In my extensive play-testing of this game I counted over sixty overt references to drug-taking or drug culture. Do you really want your kids indoctrinated into the culture of instant gratification?Could it get any worse you ask? How about the occult? In one particularly horrific level Mario is forced to transform himself into a phantom. In this guise Mario can commune with other evil spirits, something that is expressly forbidden according to God’s law. What are Nintendo trying to tell us? That demonology is good, or that kids should study the occult as a means to grow more powerful? This is the unfortunate message that kids will take from Super Mario’s game.

Bottom line: Super Mario galaxy is a game that will most likely appeal to pre-teens and color-blind imbeciles. Younger players will not notice it’s absurd and wildly inconsistent plot. Adults (with the exception of nappy-fetishists) will find it’s childish style off-putting.

Parenting Advice: ShelleyTheRepublican recommends that families avoid this game on account of in the unlikely case that your local suppliers decide to stock it. As an alternative you should consider the excellent ?Left Behind: Eternal Forces?, which is a 100% Christian game which unlike Mario teaches essential life-skills which will be of value if your child is unfortunately not raptured.
