Opie & Anthony Fans Cancel Subs, Smash Radios
I'm not sure XM Satellite Radio was prepared for the reaction to its 30-day suspension of Opie & Anthony from Channel 202/The Virus for a recent segment. It featured a homeless man discussing how he would like to have violent sex with (or rape depending on your interpretation) Condoleeza Rice and Laura Bush. Critics quickly slammed the duo and their employer, precipitating the suspension. (Right: Opie & Anthony, Photo Credit: © XM Satellite Radio)
Watch: Here's a compilation of XM Subscribers smashing radios and remarking on their dissatisfaction. It was created by John Coghlan, who told me "...im a ex-XM sub in Belfast, Ireland."
