Since their aim is to thank the people behind MLP, perhaps the thank you speech could be put in the end credits, a much more tasteful place for it than a commercial break on The Hub. Anderson could still work on the music, of course. In the event that revenue from the film goes to charities, there’s the charity involvement. Everypony wins.

I’ll just assume that there’s too many hoops to jump through, though, but it’s a dream.

Nope just you, Crazy. :)

anyway, I thought the add was gonna cost 2k and the rest was gonna go to charity (16k), how can it suddenly still need $350? was the idea altered, i’m confused.

ether way, I would still love it if it was about the charity that was inspired by MLP rather then ” we are Bronies” in this commercial, but O well, what are you gonna do, i’ll enjoy it and see it when it airs.
Considering you guys managed to get Willian Anderson aboard it resorted a rather large amount of faiths in this.

They cook up a poorly thought out idea for a “public service message” commercial to Hasbro and the Hub, manage to raise a ton of money in a controversial manner, and now they fancy themselves a 501c “brony” charity group. Let’s think about this for a second.

Have any of these people presented qualifications that make them eligible to run an organization like this? Are they drawing for any real organizing experience in putting together fundraisers, charity work, or social justice projects? Why was the process of electing members to this organization (To supposedly represent the brony community at large) held in complete secrecy? Why has this process been undertaken with such a minimal level of transparency or accountability? What about the charities they support, will they have commitments to transparent, locally run community-based projects?

I have yet to find any information that this organization has attempted to make such concerns a priority, let alone place this as the central focus of the organization. Community and social service is in it’s nature, an act of reciprocity and mutual effort to better the circumstances of our oppressed Brothers and Sisters. The organizers of “The Brony Thank You Project” to me, seem to be in this scheme primarily for credit, good karma, influence, and publicity. I urge you my fellow bronies to regard this organization with caution, and to be sure to remain critical of their intentions and goals for if these fellows are not true, inclusive, or direct in their action, then under no circumstances should we support them. Just my two cents.

In addition since the majority of the advertising money is directly supporting the Hub, and indirectly supporting the makers of MLP:FIM, it also directly supports the reason we are all together.

Please give to charities if you can. Also buy the products from Hasbro that fund MLP. This advertisement is essentially buying a product from Hasbro in addition to showing our appreciation, and immortalizing our culture in the most unique way possible.

The money has been donated, and some people are working very hard donating their free time to see that this works. I can’t see any of this as bad.
