[BC] Inside Line: Howard Stern "Sirius"-ly turns off Customers

[Jerry Mathis]

This whole thing shows the ignorance on the part of the public, and why 
censors are having a field day.

If you don't want to listen to something, TURN IT OFF!! Or CHANGE THE 
CHANNEL!

For crying out loud.

>John Krafcik, Hyundai vice president of product development and strategic

>Other automakers, however, say they prefer Sirius.

>Dave Larson, Mercedes-Benz M-Class product manager, told Inside Line
>DaimlerChrysler chose Sirius because the brand "has positioned itself as

>What this means to you: A substantial difference between the XM and Sirius
