Talk about inferential distance; for some reason it didn't even occur to me that people might not know their names (whereas I did think long and hard before going with that as my only example). I'll edit the pictures to include the names (tomorrow).
Seconding prase: "Seriously? I see these damned horses for the first time in life. Not only I don't know their names, but it is hard to distinguish them visually."
Make that "most of these damned horses" and "almost for the first time". I have kids, and they watch TV, so I'm vaguely aware of these things in much the same way I'm vaguely aware of cars honking outside: it's a somewhat unwelcome but not actively unpleasant awareness.
(Also the MLP allusion joke has already been done here before. Without pictures, admittedly, but I'd still judge it a "once and only once" kind of joke.)
