• Comments: Okay, here's the deal people and LISTEN UP! This video took a long time coming. It's titled
  
  "They Promised Me Ponies (As Read By Lisa Simpson)"
  
  The title of this video is not meant to be humorous but rather ironic. Usually when people think about ponies, they think of gentle creatures and very calm, nice wonderful, peaceful things. However in The Gundam Wing universe, things are FAR from peaceful. The ideas of ponies is usually something you'd hear from something with a childlike mind set of peace. Gundam Wing is a show about the quest for peace (ie, the proverbial pony) that they hope to achieve. The video reflects the effects of War and Regular life in the lives if Herro, Trowa and Zechs, but for the former than the latter.
  
  The video deals with the concept of lying during times of war and deciding who you are in that war. Herro is either a student or a warrior, Trowa is either an entertainer or a warrior and Zechs is either with OZ or against OZ. At any rate the video re-enforces it's self by saying "We can never truly know who we are."
  
  SIDE NOTE: "They Promised Me Ponies" was also Lisa Simpson's unfinished novel which Bart used to make spit balls out of.
