Just for the record:
http://www.nypress.com/blogx/display...m?bid=55586596 [/quote]Yesterday, XM Satellite Radio suspended shock jocks Opie and Anthony for 30 days, one week after airing Homeless Charlie’s admission that he’d love to rape Condoleezza Rice, Laura Bush and Queen Elizabeth II, and one day after they complained of the public’s excessive reaction in another broadcast. It would be one thing to say I would love to have sex with this person or that person, but to say you would love to RAPE them goes way beyond bad taste. As far as the 1st amendment goes, it was never intended to protect those who insist on vulgarity. It was written to protect those who wish to speak out about what ever issues they have on their mind without fear of being punished for expressing their views. Over the years it has been twisted so much that the original intent has been lost.

It all depends on what is in their contract.
A lawsuit from the 80's has nothing to do with this. Whatever they signed to they must agree. If they broke the contract, they maybe be fired.

See thats what I HATE, people read or hear the news from the media and think they know everything about the situation, when the media gets it wrong.

Or Maybe the fact that women have equal rights and can vote? Or Blacks are no longer slaves and have equal rights? Or that Indians have equal rights and have Casino's??????????? Yeah our founding fathers held personal rights to a higher standard.:shock: :shock:

I'd love to know those numbers as well. XM sure isn't talking about them. However, just as an indication most people are on hold 1.5-2hrs to cancel their subs. I know I sat on hold that long.
