    It's in there too. For some reason it was left out of the summary, but if you follow the link Aqua Teens are mentioned first.

    I can't wait for that game either. I'm sure UT2K4's Redeemer will have nothing on the Quad Laser. I hear it will amaze ya.

    But video games are. They may borrow the characters, but I doubt they will feature much more than amusing quips - witness "Simpsons: Hit and Run."

    If it says "for teenagers", it's for preteens. If it says for "young adults", it's for 15-18s. People want to be older than they are until they reach 23-24ish.
