   I don't know what rumor says...but common sense says they are done on XM...and then will be done on CBS, because they can't get ratings...because they cannot entertain. by tonyho7476
   
5. The comments were unfunny, yesterday's comments showed they aren't company men, and the rest will be history.
   
   Does anyone really think this is bad for satellite radio in general? I don't see anyone getting their panties in a bunch over these two clowns. by geosync

    Howard commented briefly yesterday. (Monday)
    
    From marksfriggin-
    Robin brought up this thing that went on with Opie and Anthony over the weekend. Howard said he heard the bit that they got in trouble over and said that he didn't think the bit was all that funny, if anything, it was just boring. He said that all of these people who think their free speech is being taken away are wrong because when you work for a company, you have to abide by their rules. Robin said people were saying that the whole thing could bring bad press to the XM/SIRIUS merger. Howard said he thinks that CBS and XM may want to get rid of them because their format hasn't worked that well for them. He said that if he were CBS, he'd take the oldies format that they used to air on WCBS and replace Opie and Anthony with that. by gilpdawg

From what I've heard of O&A it was one good show and that's pretty much it. And that wasn't a 'normal' show according to (both?) their fans. Now let's see if Stern can fuck it up even worse. by Jon

    Nahhh, I actually like you Sox. You usually stay out of the horseshit due to you knowing just how silly the "pest" talking pints are, most of your posts are inane or harmless and when you do get into a tussle, you fight fair (you don't win, but you fight fair).

    I agree. SatRad just hasn't been the same since you cancelled...

    I actually thought they where going to get out of this alive. I underestimated their stupidity. Cheated out of "your Mom's box" and the pests are left with O&A begging Howard for a lifeline. That has to sting. This is an implosion of epic proportions.

    Yup, I too though they'd apologize and then shut up. Sharpton wasn't biting, the news had died down and no conservative watch groups really cared. So they were basically home free, making my predictions from last week look a little off. But ultimately, the bbboys came through!! Silly me for doubting their ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory and due to only thier own stupidity - Implode spectacularly!!! by Jgatie

    So.. instead of doing the smart thing and canceling, then trying to recover your costs and sell your XM equipment, we should sacrifice for the bbbboys and smash perfectly good merchandise. Oh, and we should do it yesterday morning. Wait, no, this morning. Everyone together now. by DaJoker

    This will get the same reaction from the general public as CD smashing and book burning protests get - Uhhh, don't they have to buy them before they destroy them? Jeez, what friggin idiot protests by destroying their own stuff?
    
    It's like the Rodney King riots. Those resulted in the burning of Watts and Compton, not Beverly Hills.

    Yeah, "organize" and "pests" should never be used in the same sentence. Those clowns couldn't organize a circle jerk. They tried a protest in Central Park the other day and only managed 100 people. Shit, on a bright sunny weekend day like last Sunday, it'd be tough not to find a cluster of 100+ people in Central Park, protest or not. Jeez, instead of a huge turnout, the pests actually made people flee the park! by Jgatie

    It's gonna be hilarious when they aren't fired, and they come back on, and the wackbaggers all have smashed radios. I'm not smashing mine. That's dumb. I'm not even cancelling it. It's a family plan radio anyway, so screw it. by gilpdawg

    Oh yeah. It's going to change from a class action suit against XM to a class action suit against zigzag (or whatever his name is). But, pest organizing skills being what they are, no law firm is going to take a class action suit for a mere 200 people, each one only able to meet with the law team in their own personal basement. by Jgatie

    B-B-But didn't you hear? The "XM call center" predicted 3 million cancellations by the start of their show today! Of course 3 million cancels in 15 hours would require 10,000 call center operators to process a cancellation every 2.5 minutes and everyone knows the only thing a pest can accomplish in 2.5 minutes is the self-flogging that starts at 6:01 AM every weekday; right when they first hear those two FAKE RADIO voices. By 6:03:30 it's "Uuunghrrrrg!" and back to bed. by Jgatie

    The claims of how many listeners are cancelling is only exceeded by the claims of how many more listeners the bbboys had than Howard.
    
    One frantic poster said 3 million? hahaha. I doubt that 1/3rd of O&As listeners are aware of what happened, much less a third of XM subscribers.

    I'm hearing they've had 38,000 cancellations. That's actually more than I thought. (and fairly realistic, more so than some of the "OMG itz fo million omg wtf bbq" crowd is saying) I figured most of the "I'm gonna cancel" shit was just bluster. by gilpdawg

50. The O&A fans need to realize that they weren't suspended for the comments, they were suspended for insobordination. XM told them to apologize for the incident with the homeless guy, which they did. They were also told to SHUT UP about it. But, come the following Monday, they had to talk about it and go on and on....and on!
    O&A, as well as their fans need to realize that XM is their BOSS! Even though they are free to talk about what they wish, some backlash could arise, as with any radio show. XM felt an apology was enough and then just let it die away. Translation: They were told by their boss how to deal with a situation and they didn't following the rules. Hence, suspension.
    When will those too hacks realize just cause they have a microphone, they're free to piss all over everything. I think XM is just reminding them as to who's in charge!

    Lets evaluate the seriousness of who was attacked...the secretary of defense...if you don't think the FBI,CIA, Secret Service, etc, did not contact XM and question them, and want to speak to O&A and the homeless fuck, you are dumb. That is why it was so serious. XM doesn't want to deal with that shit. by tonyho7476

54. Will the pest attack on XM help or hurt O&A? I think in the end it hurts. There is a 30 day window in which XM can gauge exactly how many idiots are only there for O&A. That takes away their illusion that they are the biggest show on XM. XM decides that they do not need the headaches associated with two fools that can't figure out how to save themselves and cuts them loose. XM does not appreciate the encouraging to cancel subscriptions in protest and cuts them loose. XM views that video of the sorry assed kid hurting his hand and decides that they do not want that kid as a subscriber and cuts O&A loose. O&A always win in the end. by Markz
    
55. At 38K cancellations out of 7 million subs, I'd hardly call it a "pest attack". More like a "pest nuisance". Shit, they probably lost more subs when Air America went belly up. by Jgatie

    That is all well and good but this is a pissing match and not a free speech issue. Stupid is as stupid does. You do agree that the free speech defense is thin don't you? Radio wars aside, O&A are not doing this out of some greater good for humanity. At the very bottom of this are two egos who believe they are the face of a Satellite Radio company. They will be terminated at the end of this suspension for no other reason than not being able to keep their yappers shut. Is it worth it? You guys are being duped. They used and abused all their fans and at some point the rose colored glasses will come off. by Markz

    You mean those advertisers who everyone makes fun off, including the hosts? Judging from the pictures I've seen of the couple dozen pests outside the studio this morning, I see this as XM purging the hosts, the sponsors and the subs in order to clean up their image. Hoofa, what a bunch of tools. by Jgatie
    
60. Well I can tell you that cancellations are not the only thing that's going to hurt XM in all this. A good friend, who only got XM for O&A, called up today and got 3 months free on each of his 3 receivers to keep him from cancelling. So now they're handing out refunds / credits to keep the people from leaving, which hurts revenue too.
    
    All in all, not a good situation for XM.

64. The advertisers aint smart enough to see that the suspension was not for the rape bit but for basically insubordination, They riped XM in a roundabout way for the fact they had to issue an apology for it, probably only cause it was a high ranking govt official.
    
    Wonder how those companies would deal with an employee that does something similar. I would bet they would fire them instead of suspend them. by MeDude
    
65. Have any of these moronic "pests" even tried to find out who made the complaint in the first place?
    Perhaps alot of their questions would be answered if they just found that out.
    
    
    Instead, they act like jackasses. Smashing units and cancelling. Good riddance I say.

    Yeah, I've seen pictures. Uhhhhg . . . not a pretty sight. Looked like a pre-op gastric bypass support group taking a field trip to a Star Trek convention. Good God . . . I bet O&A Industries loses a shitload of money if they stock anything but XXL WOW T-shirts. There was one . . . uh . . . chick there (I think).

67. And, as I predicted in another thread, the pests that were so into teaming up for the greater good of radio are now trying to torpedo the merger, still thinking they've got clout. More likely, they've got gout...

    The pests have got to be some of the stupidest people on the planet. Maybe instead of smashing their radios we can convince them that mass suicide would be the best way to support O&A. by badmotherfarker

    Someone ought to float a couple mylar balloons through that thread. The pests would get distracted by the bright shiny objects and lose all interest. It would be doing them a favor to save them from the embarrassing level of self-delusion going on in that discussion of "pest power". by Jgatie

78. The pests are so stupid that they don't get that they're actually sealing O&A's fate. The whole "cancel your sub and smash your radio" movement is pretty much leaving XM with 0.0 incentive to actually bring O&A back in a month. Also, there little "pest attacks" on all advertisers that didn't pull their XM spots due to O&A being suspended is guaranteeing that they will have no advertisers if/when they come back from suspension. Every "pest" I've encountered sounds like a semi-retarded 13 yr old. by badmotherfarker

    Thread: Operation Mel UsedLadBag, Boston No one is saying that Mel isn't a scumbag, that's not the point. The point IS to bring Sirius into the discussion, we want the issue to be big. We want to get him to take a position, not about O&A per se, but about the free expression of their talent. I think Mel is more about $$$$ then HooHoo and O&A. Think it through: If O&A stay on XM and we get an apology from the top: we're good to go. If O&A stay on XM but are censored and not supported: they're as good as dead. If O&A are fired or quit where can they go? Sirius or Free FM. If they stay just on FreeFM, the show will have to be watered down, otherwise they'll get fired just like Imus If they go to Sirius, what will the environment be like? If they stand behind their talent we're good to go. If they're pussies, we're fucked. Whether a merged company would support O&A in a pre-Imus world is a good question. I'm assuming that they would, because Mel's smart enough to know talent and how to make $$$$. That's what he's about. If Sirius and XM do merger and the new company will stand behind talent: we're good to go, and we could theoretically support a merger with O&A as a part of it. If the merged company won't support the free expression of their talent: then we fight the merger. THAT is why we need to find out where Mel stands on the uncensored free expression of his on-air talent.

    by Markz
    
81. Wow, that is one confused pest. Tellingly, similar to his idols, he needs to take his orders from Mel. If Mel cared at all, I'm sure he'd give this pest the same advice he gave O&A - "Just shut your friggin mouth, you're embarrassing yourself."

     Yes, XM set the precedent for suspending employees who don't do as they are told. Thanks for the info. I never knew that no employer in history ever disciplined employees for insubordination before XM. I tell you, our freedoms are being stepped on when we can't disobey our boss!!!

     Even the pests are claiming- in fact BRAGGING- that "40,000" have cancelled. ha ha ha ha! Apparently O&A have even fewer fans than I thought.

     So, let's get this straight... Dopie & AintFunny have admitted that only about 30k people signed up for their show when it was a premium service on XM. Now the pests are saying that 40k canceled their subscriptions to support the b-b-boneheads. So, does that mean that OnA only attracted 10k more people during two years on the air?! That is really pathetic. No wonder their FreeFM ratings suck and stations in other markets are dropping them completely. by rickster53

     Not even that many... the 30-40K is only because most people have 2-3 subscriptions. Those guys attract crickets. If they brought in any kind of revenue, no way XM would have suspended them. XM is in no position to be losing significant cash flow at this point. by badmotherfarker

     We know it isn't 0.0, well might as well be, but it is fun to rattle your cage with it. Got it. What the pest's fail to realize in all this is that anyone that follows the radio industry flat out laughs at you guys. At some point results will need to match or exceed the ridiculous claims made by O&A. Seeing how they are getting dropped in markets and buried in afternoons and graveyard shifts should clue you guys in on the fact that the end is near.
