David, I urge you to read the terms of the auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=ADME:L:LCA:US:11&item=5661816188
Rocketboom is not only selling advertising time on their videoblog, they are making the ads themselves, placing them at the end of their show and making them in such a way that their viewers will actually enjoy the ad. Why do so many people here think this is such a horrible thing? They are being creative and taking their audience into consideration all at the same time. Besides, it's not the first time they've aired advertisements on their show... they've been doing that for a long time (my favorite was the Flickr ad). Lighten up people.
