Did Richard Hofstader hack into Averroes's account or something? Wow...
I am not really a Ghostbusters fan so I don't really know how to respond about that specific show, but as a veritable Fairly Oddparents fan to this day, I don't see the problem of enjoying kids shows. Also, aren't movies just for fun? I generally don't want to be thinking hard while watching; I just come along for the ride. Apparently that makes me "illiterate" but that's OK I guess.
There is also the fact that, yes, a lot of 'children's media' can in and of itself carry strong underlying themes or at the very least good messages.
