I don't see what the big deal is, really.  It's not like it's child porn.  
We're talking about a boy who is ~15 and some slightly sexual things.  It's 
not like there's even any sex in it.  Anyone who could honestly say they are 
offended by it should not even watch prime time TV because there is worse 
stuff on.

If anyone has seen the movie "American Psycho", there is some pretty extreme 
stuff in there, but they can get away with it under 'R' just because 
everyone's an adult.  EoE on the other hand, even though it's animated and 
there is only a little suggestive content, has the prospects of being 
censored hanging over it.  It's a sad, sad world.
