"lets see your tits" isn't entertaining to me. It sounds like when I was 8. The shock value has subsided as I am sure his audience has. I don't know that for sure but I don't hear much about him anymore.
My wife was a bit of a fan at first. Bought the book blah blah. I never liked the guy. I don't like most radio personalities left or right or adolescent. Ed Shultz is a turd. As is Air America. I am bipartisan when it comes to hot air.

I find him very funny and interesting. After he got the $500 Million (Half a Billion Dollar) deal to come to Sirius Satellite Radio those who weren't fans and those who didn't subscribe didn't have to listen or hear about him. After all he was no longer offending anyone who didn't WANT to be 'offended.' (More like
entertained.)
But his Half Billion Dollar deal wasn't without some strings. He had to bring new subscribers with him. And so they said that if you can generate a certain number of new subscribers you can earn this amount of money. He did and so, he did.
And as far as adolescent humor, well I do find some of it adolescent but so do I find some debates in some threads adolescent.
And as far as naked women? Stern says he is just trying to make us laugh.

“I’m a comedian,” he said. “I just wanted to make people laugh in the morning.”
That may be. But asked if, now, there is at times little that distinguishes his show from that of the soft-core “Girls Gone Wild” video series (or even “Midnight Blue,” the longtime, soft-core chestnut of New York City public access television that had Al Goldstein as its host), Mr. Stern, of course, blanched yet again.
“I never thought Al Goldstein or ‘Girls Gone Wild’ was funny,” he said. “They’re salacious. But I don’t find any humor in ‘Girls Gone Wild.’ ”
“I’m not trying to tell you to come to satellite to hear a girl sit on the Sybian,” he said. “I’m telling you to come because the show is funny.”
