I didn't say "continuous"... as the news articles I read also made that 
clear. It's not a barrage of F-bombs & sex sound effects, and I know that. It's 
just that that kind of vile content is going to be included, now, where it 
couldn't be on regular airwaves.

If I were to make a batch of brownies using only the finest ingedients, and 
the finest recipe, would you eat them? If you like brownies, of course you 
would.

Now, what if I added a 1/2 teaspoon of dog droppings to the mix? Would you 
still want the brownies? Why not? You can't taste it... it was cooked at 350 
degrees... it's only a very tiny bit... 

Yeah, but it's still dog poop. It doesn't take much. That's my point.

Interesting to discover that XM also has a "smut channel". Ok, well, then 
that decision is now made, as well. Personally, I don't see enough benefit in the 
services to waste the money every month, anyway. Based on what I've heard in 
the stores that have live demo systems, there are only one or two channels on 
the whole thing I'd have any interest in listening to. Not enough cost/benefit 
ratio, IMHO.
