It's how he delivered it that is ruffling so many feathers. But that's kind of what he does. But really, his dismissal of an art form as being "for children" is pretty silly. I figured we'd be past this by now in our society. Cartoons, novels, music, games, comic books, movies, comedians.....all of them run the gamut from kids to all ages to adults only. So to me, it's a question of whether he knows that or not. Is he so unaware? Like him or hate him, he's a smart person. So he must know that every medium has fare for every age category out there. So then the obvious answer is he knows that, but feigned ignorance in order to rile folks up and get a lot of attention.</blockquote>
