Today in Great Corrections in New York Times History

I can only imagine the nasty emails the New York Times received from angry Bronies wanting to clarify which pony is which. Bronies are serious about their passion.

An article on Monday about Jack Robison and Kirsten Lindsmith, two college students with Asperger syndrome who are navigating the perils of an intimate relationship, misidentified the character from the animated children’s TV show “My Little Pony” that Ms. Lindsmith said she visualized to cheer herself up. It is Twilight Sparkle, the nerdy intellectual, not Fluttershy, the kind animal lover.
