He is going to be SO embarrassed when he grows up. And as far as the advertising goes, well, I thought the Cartoon channel was for kids; certainly its advertisors are aiming at kids. Did the Weekly Reader cover this? I don't know how many little cartoon-watching kids sit and watch CNN for hours at a time.
The cartoon in question isn't for kids - its for smelly slacker losers just like the guys who came up with this 'marketing' plan.
The sort who stay up past midnight to watch cartoons because they don't have jobs to go to in the morning.
Note: if you are thirty and still living in the basement of your parent's house, you just might be a loser.

Looking after about a five year old. He was bored with the cartoons but came alive for the commercials!
Far from it. The "Adult Swim" segment, of which this was a part, has "Parental Advisory: Mature Content" warnings that the content (rated TV-MA) is not appropriate for children. If you are sitting your little ones down in front of the Cartoon Channel to go do something else thinking it's safe content, you need to reconsider.
