It's the freak show factor. The "battle of the sexes" element always sparks interest. And, of course, the media have been hyping her to the nth degree.

I know what point you're trying to make and I understand market principles infinitely better than the leftists who support Bubbles. So, my answer to you is that I agree with half of your statement. Bubbles DOES attract crowds, but not because she's a character, for she isn't. Also, while I don't fault businesses for responding to market forces insofar as such a response is ethical, I DO fault them when they behave like pimps. Anything for a buck? No, anything wholesome for a buck. Porn sells too, you know.
