As for the ads, well... I can't really defend the adult toys ad except to say that the girl in that ad is fun to look at. One time, I actually saw an ad on the TYT site that was pro-conservative, which I thought was weird.

As for the trashy stories... well, a lot of TYT viewers stumbled upon TYT because they are gossip hounds or interested in some of the more sleazy stories...  This was the way I found TYT... there was some scandal going on and I saw Cenk & Ana's take on it and I thought it was funny.

Then about a week later I stumbed upon Cenk and Ana doing another sleazy current events scandal. By this time they were familiar to me.  At this point I started watching other TYT videos (the political ones) and then I became a devoted everyday listener.

So, I would say these sleazy stories are going to attract more viewers than they thwart.

I mean, who doesn't like a little sleaze once in a while? It's not like we're the Christian Right or anything.

The pop culture parts are some of my favorite parts of the show too.  Not because I care about the subject matter, but because I enjoy hearing Cenk and Ana's (and previously Jill's) take on it.
