I initially saw it (just out of the corner of my eye, and not really paying attention) as a kid jumping up from his desk & waving his hand in the air in an "oh...pick MEEEEE" gesture.
Then realized it was a pony, which was a little bit more annoying.
Didn't notice it was licking the screen until Angus mentioned it at some point, and for some reason that's when it started to strike me as kind of creepy in addition. Not that there's anything inherently creepy about a pony licking something, I guess...but it does, just, really get on my nerves.
