To each his own, I guess. I didn't really find the Suicide Girls video-podcast very entertaining... I found it was just a semi-entertaining ad campaign. I admit, if I was advertising something I would probably want to take advantage of videoblogging, but I personally don't enjoy watching these types of vlogs.
I didn't really mean "spamming" per sé, but that it is a waste of directory attention for the little people who are making sincere vlogs. How-to-Do Girls is an example of a videoblog who is registered on many sites and is basically an ad campaign to sell DVDs. Sure, this is fine... but compared to the work that real videobloggers put into making their shows, taking clips from your movie and podcasting it seems to negate the efforts of others. Perhaps directories aren't filled with many ads like this right now, but I have no doubt it will catch on very quickly. We will have to start weeding out the ads at some point.
