The channel is clearly labeled as explicit, marketed for crudeness, can be blocked on request, and I'm annoyed that XM has taken them off the air for being --- crude..

HBO simply told them where to go. End of controversy. In retrospect, XM should have taken the same approach. It's not like the company has more than a ghost of a chance of getting fed approval for the merger anyway. Some Italian-American groups have been offended by The Sopranos.

However, one must commend them for their loyalty. Here is the real slippery slope: What is to stop an Italian/American group from claiming to be offended by the Soprano's? These are paid services. I am a loyal O&A fan and they were the SOLE reason I purchased XM. (Ron and Fez were a nice bonus) I hope that more people in the media will stand up and question this type of response. These were not public airways. These were not comments made by the on air talent. Get ready the Internet is the next to start feeling the regulatory squeeze from fringe groups.

As for the "no pity" and "who gives a ????" idiotic remarks, think about it. If someone pays to hear that kind of stuff (ie: me) why shouldn't we be able? If you want to claim something is uncensored, it had damn well better be. The problem is uncensored sounds a lot better than corporate nannied. Their suspension was purely political and designed to curry favor with people in Washington for the merger. They themselves (not a guest) have said much worse in the past, but they weren't trying to merge with Sirius back then... It wasn’t so much a protest as a show of support.
