hiatus | People talking out of their a$$... The Americans for Tax Reform and The 60 Plus Association both say that the merger would create a more appealing, family-friendly product. And they base that line of bullshit on what facts ? They seriously believe that Sirius and XM are suddenly going to stop playing the uncensored versions of songs, start bleeping out the F-word, etc. and start sounding more like the crap that is called terrestrial radio ? How much you want to bet "more family-friendly" means no electronic stations because electronic music supposedly encourages drug use ?
Seriously, a more "family-friendly" product...  That statement right there is enough to make me want to oppose the merger.
The second satellite starts being like regular radio - all pussified because there might be children listening - I'm putting my receiver on Ebay and saying good riddance... The new company can have the spineless tightwads who want censored radio.

The new company can have the spineless tightwads who want censored radio. I agree completely. I don't expect that they would start censoring, but if they do, I'll drop my subscription.
I absolutely *hate* when I'm listening to a song I really like and then there's a second of silence or a distorted word, or even worse, replacement words. It's just like a skip and it destroys the song. |

I totally agree with you. Sirius makes my daily drive to work bearable. If they become just as bad as regular radio... it won't be pretty.
I am so sick of this "family friendly" crap. People who don't want their children listening to or watching objectionable material should do the right thing and keep their kids from it instead of making the rest of us suffer.

Opie and Anthony were suspended for a skit in order to appease the FTC (Had there been no merger I think they would have weathered the storm). That pressure may get worse when you become the only game in town. |

said by bmn:The Americans for Tax Reform and The 60 Plus Association both say that the merger would create a more appealing, family-friendly product. And they base that line of bullshit on what facts ? The factual basis for their posture regarding this matter is that both groups are investors and not listeners. The merger is good for them on a strictly financial basis. Their "more appealing, family-friendly product" claim is total BS, of course. The motive is greed.
Obviously the Americans for Tax Reform [sic] group is a bunch of wealthy people who don't want to pay taxes. I have a hunch that the name "60 Plus Association", which is ostensibly in reference to the age of its membership, is more likely a reference to a certain tax bracket. one that only the wealthiest people fall within. |

But that would mean that parents would actually have to take some RESPONSIBILITY for their kids actions and in teaching them. That is absolutely not allowed this day and time... [/sarcasm]
Off topic, but, it is just like the other day when a 14 year old was killed jumping into one of the canals here. There are signs clearly posted displaying no swimming or jumping into the canal. There are fences in place to deter them, however, the parents fully blame the city for not putting up more fences in order to stop THEIR 14 year old...

im waiting for a kid to climb into a sub station and come out in shopvac and the parents to sue the power company claiming a barb wire fence wasnt enough.

If this goes through, O&A are finished. No way will Howie Boy Karmizan allow them to stay and do a show on the same network. |

Yeah, $deity forbid it was their kids fault because he/she was a dumbass worthy of a Darwin Award... Oh no, it's the city's fault because they didn't do everything possible to keep the stupid people alive.
