They don't play anything interesting because regardless of what channel you're listening to, they've researched what the top songs are and feed you them. The same as regular radio. The only thing it has going for it are the sports packages - but are you really interested in what the most useless teams are doing, since those are the only ones that aren't broadcast for free anyway?

First of all, the Seahawks are fucking awesome.

As that is probably neither here nor there, I shall move on.

I like your mindset, but the truth of the matter is that I have yet to hear a "college station" (or such facsimile) produce anything that XM-Sirius has to offer. Period.

I won't disagree. After all, if I were an XM subscriber, O&A would be my weapon of choice.

Also, I'm officially nominating "SexM" as the new company name. Just an idea...

I'm pretty sure they mean for XM subs only.

Maybe this means we can finally see an Inno2. XM has been in a holding pattern for a year now.

And fuck them both if they decide to use Sirius' stupid elipitical satelites.

All I know is that I'm remaining firmly against this merger until Rev. Jackson gets his fair 20%.

The merger has been approved with the stipulation of a $20 million fine.

**Rumpy** · 23 Jul 2008, 05:27 PM

$20 million fine is stupid. This merger is taking forever.

**Dolemite** · 23 Jul 2008, 06:12 PM

WTF is the $20 million fine for?

**OGcritic** · 23 Jul 2008, 06:14 PM

About time.
I was sick of hearing Howard go on long winded tirades about this. While I agreed with him each time, it was far too often.

$20mil fine is retarded for sure.
