    I'd be sorry to see the satellite service fail (we've had XM since the second year they were in business) but the thought of Howard Stern's megabuck contract not being worth the paper it's written on brings a spot of cheer.

    Wow, all of those satellite radios installed in cars as a "premium" option... And the service goes dark. Yet good luck finding an HD radio standard in a car these days.


    Conspiracy much.

    When I lost my debit card and never updated my XM account, XM left my service on for an extra month and has been calling me for two months trying to get me back. Now I understand why they were acting like the desperate ex.

    @thechansen: XM made it almost fucking impossible for me to cancel. They kept asking me a million questions, transferring me, hanging up on me, almost like a joke, as if to make me not cancel out of frustration. I'm still not sure if I was able to successfully cancel my account. They still email me like I'm a customer and I'm not entirely sure they're not still charging me. They're like a desperate ex who you now realize is crazier than you ever imagined, and is now stalking you.

    The business model was flawed to begin with. Have people pay for the device and have ads pay for the service. It was supposed to be simple then they mucked it all up :(

    That's okay. I'm sure that the "ATF" business sector is doing fine. Guns, booze, and smokes are recession-proof.


    Personally, I'm planning on riding the Great Recession out by investing heavily in porn stocks.

    They knew if Girlie was going to convert to Judaism for me, I'd have to go kosher out of guilt. Because of that, I'm dating only non-observant Jewish women now. Virginia and the Carolinas will thank me for it.
