That would make everyone who watches it a pedophile. BUT fear not, you aren't, theres also a commercial for an interview between Diane Sawyer and Mel Gibson about Passion of Christ, that movie has gottan a lot of pre-release press but certainly not 6 years worth.
And farther into the video there is a commercial for the network premeire of Princess Diaries on ABC.

All three of those things would be on the radio in the past week or so. Valentine's day is also this Satuday (today), and Princess Diaries is premiering this Saturday (today) and Sawyer's Gibson interview is this Monday.
You don't need a microphone to have radio noise on an analog signal. RF noise is the reason audiophiles spend big bucks shielding everything. Remember, this tape was recorded in analog, and someone presumably digitized it from an analog format to a digital format. The audio on the vid I saw is terrible, so probably the guy forgot to plug in the audio cables from the VCR to his computer, or there was something wrong with the cables/connectors, or maybe he lives really near a radio station's transmitter.
The audio observations are interesting, but I'd say the main thing it suggests is that the digitization from analog to digital was very recent, and with poor attention to audio integrity.
