Should satellite radio have erotic-type sex stations?

Well, you know that everyone is concerned about people talking on their cell phones and having animated conversations while driving, or worse yet, busy looking down and texting while driving through school zones. As a parent who should really bother you, and as a commuter on the freeway on your way to work, that’s the last thing you need, to be hit from behind by someone who’s busy texting without paying attention. We all know that people do stupid things and that distracted drivers have more accidents, they are just dangerous.

We’ve all seen business executives driving to work reading the Wall Street Journal, or women applying lipstick in bumper-to-bumper freeway traffic. But what else does everyone do while driving? God only knows, and maybe you were afraid to ask. Well, I’m not, and let me tell you something that has bothered me recently. I’m not a prude, and I’m not that religious, so what people do, think and say in their own neighborhoods is their business.

However, the other day I received an email notifying me of the new channels offered by satellite radio. As a subscriber, it’s nice to have satellite radio in my vehicles, especially when I’m driving long distances between major cities and all the radio stations are gospel, country, or just plain silly. Not that I object to what other people listen to, but I can only take part of it before I have to turn it off. Meanwhile, with hundreds of miles to go, you just sit there and end up singing to yourself, and with the car on cruise control not much happens, can you tell it’s boring?

Perhaps that’s why satellite radio is so popular with truck drivers and those taking long-distance car trips. Even if you’re just driving around town, it’s nice to have satellite radio and have your favorite stations always available wherever you go. It’s just that having satellite radio available with erotic-type sex stations is quite problematic. The last thing we need is people driving down the highway without paying attention, lost in some erotic fantasy, and maybe not even keeping their hands on the wheel as they drive, listen to the radio, use your imagination to guess what I’m saying here . .

Then there’s the issue of parental control to prevent your kids from tuning in to stations you’d rather they didn’t listen to, or from getting in your car when you’re not home and turning on the accessory switch to listen to stuff you don’t need to learn about. such a young age. In fact, I can understand why the FCC was concerned about this, and why the courts would likely uphold their right to do so; however, you can understand some of the challenges that lie ahead when satellite radio takes a voyeur to erotic-type sex stations. Please consider all this and think about it.
