You guys don’t know how much self-control it takes for me not to spam my dashboard with a dozen videos from each new “My Little Pony” episode after it airs. But this Friendship Report from Applejack deserves to be showcased here.

Last night’s episode was awesome, and about economics — specifically, the competitive advantages of vertical integration. What with last month’s political science-themed episode, all I really need now is for them to do a show about rap music. (Wu-Tang Pony is a decent substitute, admittedly.)

Also, the Internets have matched the Pony homage to The Music Man up with The Simpsons’ homage to The Music Man, which I feel is important work.
