I was almost beginning to doubt the power of internet memes, but then I found these:

Chocolate rain! and this PMV. Youtube has an amazing number of them already.

For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

There appears to be something called "Bronies," which I suppose is a male fanboy for My Little Ponies. The female "fangirl" version appears to be "pega sis?"

The lolmart flash intro (which is annoying hard to link to they took down due to homophobic and "no homo" comments :( ) on locats shows two "bronies" one pink and one purple with 5 o'clock shadow and a "male" sign branded on the hip, flying across the screen while both shoot a rainbow out of their butts.... (Sort of like NyanCat) They then come together and do a fist bump "bro hoof." 

I found this somewhat funny.

Edit: O wait, looks like they're still selling the shirts though: http://lolmart.com/product/bronies/

There's some debate whether "brony" is gender neutral or not. I think it is, but I don't care enough to argue with anyone who thinks otherwise (and yeah pega-sis is catching on as a female version. Not quite as catchy though).

Being trans like I am, I could care less, but you've gotta admit, the shirt's 5 o'clock shadow and the big old branded "male" sign makes the shirt look one way. [shrugs].

All the same, you know a meme has arrived when the marketers latch on. :P

Meh, doesn't really matter here.  Its up to our local fangirls deciding to call themselves that or not, since I expect most of us to be male.
