Can the ads on satellite radio be profane?
Will the ads on satellite radio be profane too? See blog posting at <a class="jive-link-external" href="http://londonink.blogspot.com/2005/11/will-ads-on-satellite-radio-be-profane.html" target="_newWindow">http://londonink.blogspot.com/2005/11/will-ads-on-satellite-radio-be-profane.html</a>

Where is that in TV?
We haven't seen this in Cable TV advertising yet. Things have remained pretty tame and even the long anticipated arrival of Stern on satellite radio didn't come with any more shock value than when he was on broadcast radio.

Cable TV channels enjoy the same sort of freedoms as satellite radio. I think the reason for the overall tame nature of advertising is two fold. Firstly you don't want to just **** off your customers. Secondly you don't want to give federal regulators extra incentive to come into the unregulated segment.

2001
I don't think that movie had any original music, it was 100% classical background.

Recognition.
It isn't about the origins of the music. It is about where it can be recognized from. There are few movies that have a totally original soundtrack.

Creepster Schlock Jock
Look at Stern's picture, he looks as creepy as Jacko. That's what living a depraved life will do to you regardless of how much money you make.

Such BUNK you spew!
First of all, someone has gone to great lengths to find the worst picture possible. That should be obvious to anyone, even you.

Secondly, what is he doing that is depraved? His private life seems quite normal to me.

Perhaps you would prefer life under the Taliban, or one of the other extremely oppressive regimes.

If so, why don't you move to an area of the world where you would find life more compatible?

Crap Jock Useless Jock
Never bothered to listen to his crap more than a few minutes per month, why would I care to know about his first day? Let's move on please.
Sirius gambled and maybe they also will crap out.
