This one of those times where you really don't want know, I wish I didn't myself to be honest about the whole mess where discussing. "You know, I don't know who or what you are Methos, and I know you don't want to hear this, but you did teach me something. You taught me that Life's about change, about learning to accept who you are, good or bad. And I thank you for that." -Duncan McLeod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaBaBrony 111 December 27, 2012 Author Share December 27, 2012 I can think of several people that do that type of humor far better and funnier, starting with everyone on That Guy With the Glasses. You are certainly entitled to your opinion. All I'll say to that end is I don't see 20,000,000 people lining up to pay for their content. clicked the thread and went in read the first post and didn't understand a thing about it so, i kinda have no idea what you guys are talking about. In a nutshell, Howard Stern sent a minion to Bronycon to interview attendees. They then proceeded to make fun of them on the show for being obsessive nerds. I thought it was hilarious, but a lot of people disagree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main website gets 130K DAILY visits, The site is so successful a Major fiance magazine interviewed Doug Walker about the site's success, and that's not even bringing in everyone's individual fan-base.

I reckon so, they already have a premium content section and they sell DVDs every so often on top of that, but it's more important to bring people enjoyment then to make money.

FedoraMemes 582 December 27, 2012 Share December 27, 2012 um....dude.....Howard Stern is the reason that people view us Bronies as a bunch of horse humpers (really a different word that starts with an F) I'm not sure if my information is correct, but apparently, the whole thing was a joke, which in my opinion, I actually found hilarious, especially the people who took it seriously, and got in a real mood about it. No offence, but people getting extremely butthurt (do people still use that?) about something really makes me laugh.

IHazTommyWiseau 84 December 27, 2012 Share December 27, 2012 Quick question. Is there a link to a website or something that talks about this supposed best of the year list? Is it on Howard's website?

Jessper 735 December 27, 2012 Share December 27, 2012 "Bronies are guys who are into MLP, in the sense they are turned on by ponies." "You know how Comiccon is for losers? Those are winners compared to bronies" "Just the term is disturbing." (brony) "They live with their parents, all of them." (bronies) That's just 3 minutes I've listened to again.

Finesthour 7,287 December 27, 2012 Share December 27, 2012 I was going to come in here and say, "Who even cares about Howard Stern?", but I have been proven wrong. Why do you guys care so much about what others think? It's quite idiotic to talk about people as such. Be yourself, and worry about yourself. Not what some radio host is saying. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I say "Republicans want turn US into theocracy and eventually provoke war in middle east to fulfill Bible prophecy" I might be joking or I might not be, either way if I'm in a position of influence, you will find out many less fortunate people take it as a fact. When I say "Republicans are controlled by little aliens living in their heads" everyone will understand it's a joke. This is kind of similar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starswirl the Trixie 975 December 27, 2012 Share December 27, 2012 This is BAD news guys. I encourage you to all watch Stern's program on Bronies. It's the single most anti-Brony publication I've ever seen. Stern basically said that we're all cloppers, but he even went beyond that in demonization. People liked his lies so much that they voted the story best of the year. That isn't a good thing... 4 #SOCKS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jokuc 8,173 December 28, 2012 Share December 28, 2012 Wha.. What? My head is full of question marks right now. Isn't he the guy who gave bronies a bunch of shit and said we're homos attracted to horsebutt or something? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megas 27,625 December 28, 2012 Share December 28, 2012 Isn't Howard Stern the guy that pissed all over the fandom. That's not necessarily something to be proud of, but whatever, it'd best be ignored 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much brony bullying is there anyway? We didn't find him funny, because he's not funny. He just made every disgusting accusation he could and hoped something would stick, Crude humor is only funny if you know how to use it properly and time it right. When I watch someone like Spoony, I laugh along because I can tell there's no real hate towards anyone behind it, Stern just makes me feel uneasy the whole time.

SrFrog 927 December 28, 2012 Share December 28, 2012 I wouldn't say Howard Stern made bronies look bad. Because let's be honest, we did that ourselves on that interview. He's a shock jock what do you expect? He's not gonna sugarcoat that stuff if it get's him more listeners. 1 "Never give no manipulative bitch the benefit of the doubt" - Compa's grandpa...
