You are being offered a pony. Consider carefully.

My point exactly. I really like these commercials. That look on the girl's face is akin to the boy's face from the Twilight Zone. Intense, Holy Shitness. If she masters that, guys in the future are going to have hell to pay.

I :romance-heartbeating: this little girl's expression in this commercial!

I wonder if she's acting, or whether they just chose a very smart little girl who they thought might react this way to the situation presented.

Does anyone know?

I was wondering the exact same thing. My guess is this reaction is totally real. Your thoughts?

No, I don't want a pony. But the youngest Turk now does. She's apparently entered the *required* pony / horse obsession phase for grade school girls. She used have dolphins all over the walls but that was SO last year... They went out with the Christmas trash...

I don't know a thing about child acting. Another good one is the kid with Howie Long on the Chevy commercials: "THAT's a little kids' seat. I'm BIG." Wish I had a nickel for every time I heard that...

I was intrigued by the pony ad because of another reason which I opined about elsewhere at CTN. Do blondes have more fun? They certainly get the better presents...

I want a pony. I have absolutely no idea what I would do with it but I feel compelled to vote "Yes".

My friend likes to call his Ford Mustang his "pony". I'd take one of those if it was offered for free. As long as it isn't one of those horrible 70s or 80s designs.

I'm no car buff but I think the early to mid 70's Ford Mustangs looked badass. It wasn't until the late 70s that they looked horrible. Ugh! :Boo:
