That's just the part most visible to non-hackers. Actually their underlying technology is way more advanced than their competitors'. Justin.TV already had their own custom video compression technology when Ustream was just a laptop with a wireless card. As Ronald points out, Justin.TV is not just stunts.

I've also been testing UStream, Neokast, Veodia, Stickam, BlogTV and other platforms as well. Everyone has their own "bells and whistles", but where Justin.TV succeeds is in video quality. It's the most compelling piece of Justin.TV's puzzle. It's TV-like, and so far, none of the other lifecasting platforms have matched the video quality.

I haven't gotten the impression that this company does brilliant PR so much as he seems to have some good connections, but I think this kind of idea has legs somewhere - I think they just need to focus on what people like to see, not what the company wants to publish. When I think about what makes top shows sexy and what attracts people, I sort of don't see it in Justin.tv's formula. Justin's life was boring, the new girl's life was boring.... but I like the idea and I hope he finds what works. Video's a good place to play and he has a nice early start. Hmm.
