We actually got mail from one of Hasbro's PR teams - HA!

Ohh man. Some days, things just keep getting better and better. Apparently, we - Horse News - are actually receiving direct messages from one of Hasbro's Public Relations teams. This is of course a huge 180 degree turn from our assumption that Hasbro either has no idea we exist or hates us. Ya know; US. Those guys. The ones with the lingerie contests and the jokes about the buttsex.

Hello sweeet sweeet validation.

Anyway what they sent - 2 emails over the last 2 weeks - aren't anything really super urgent or that we didn't already know, but that's beside the point.

If YOU didn't know; MLP is up for a Daytime Emmy, and there was also a Game of Thrones style trailer released earlier this month.

Oh, guess what, TOMORROW IS SEASON 6!

We survived another hiatus. Though this one felt hollow compared to the previous year-long ordeal. It's like we never truly left.

I won't be watching because it will be like nighttime and I'll be in Tokyo during all that.
