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.
