My only real argument for your posts is that just because things are geared towerds one Area or Generation, does not mean it wont be picked up or expanded by another. Many awesome Video game characters, have games geared towards younger players. Like Kirby Mass Attack for example. Many Sonic and Mario games are also Aimed at little kids even though its a lot of US adults who are pcking up the games ourselves. While you do occasionally have the game thats aimed at us, you cant just vote on where something should be just by looking at its appearance. That's like the people who say that Anime is cartoon and cartoon are for kids. [Then the parents see Some of said anime.. and go basket crazy.]

Also, while the show is aimed at children, its also there to be watched by their parents as well. There are a lot of 'kids' shows that are also aiming jokes at the adults watching as well. This type of show is made for Family viewing, including adults.
