Would any prepubescent girls in the audience please explain the fascination with unicorns? No, I’m not going to get into the overt sexual symbolism. Don’t be gross. Ewww! Oh yeah, and why sparkly unicorns? Is it totally about gender biased advertising? Does the answer lie in the pink aisle of the toy department next to the innumerable Barbies?

So, it’s Magic at a Carnival…er, Circus, then?
(Yep, if RT is going to pick indie low-budget public-domain would-be kiddie movies with bad 00’s CGI effects and disturbingly kid-unfriendly plots about bad-guy creature-nappers, they got a whole Blockbuster shelf to choose from…)
Because girls like horses, and unicorns are FANTASY horses. Just like Pegasuses/si, or unicorns that also have Pegasus wings, mythology be darned.
If you can’t understand the unicorn appeal, join us former fourth-grade boys who could never understand the whole “horse” thing, either.
Now, as to why we’ve been seeing Unicorns show up every danged where in wacky Millennial-humor commercials and memes lately (along with the now commonly-held belief that they crap rainbows and candy), that’s more likely due to our frustrations over how to get rid of Bronies.

There is a $1000 fee for quoting my vapid non sequitur on unicorn merchandising in order to promote intergenerational disparagement. Please pay with Skittles and Lucky Charms cereal.

Uh, that “unicorn” doesn’t look “little”. In fact, I think it’s full grown.

Shouldn’t it have been called “The Littlest Unicorn?” It seems a little indefinite. I should really just relax..
