Sirius-ly?

I can't even wrap my head around investing $530 million in something as ailing as Sirius Radio. Especially in an economy where people are being forced to cut back on the luxuries they used to afford themselves. Satellite radio is just another semi-pricey gimmick for the "inconvenience intolerant." God forbid we should be forced to listen to yet another car ad, or local restaurant pitch, when for just about $200 bucks a year, we can sail through life advertising-free.

I've experienced sat-radio in rental cars before. It's a nice perk, having channel after channel of music or comedy (which admittedly you can't get on earth-bound radio, and I think that is a shame), but I just can't see myself paying money every month just to listen to radio without commercials. Paying for the pleasure of listening with my passive time, seems a better deal to me than actually digging into my wallet and coughing up cold, hard cash.
