The horror: adult man found watching cartoons

Emru Townsend makes an excellent point today on his blog In-Betweens:
In her syndicated column, Dr. Joyce Brothers responds to a 40-something legal professional, exasperated that her 40-something legal professional boyfriend likes to watch cartoons. Even after “F.T.” says that her errant beau likes to watch the “‘adult’ ones at night” - presumably Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim - Brothers leads off her response: “It is certainly reasonable to be puzzled by seeing a grown man - a professional, no less - howling at cartoons meant for a 6-year-old.”
I find it interesting to note that despite the fact that a grown man - a professional, no less - might like cartoons, and that there are cartoons being aired for adults, there’s no thought that maybe - just maybe - they aren’t all made for six-year-olds.
