Radio is dead. After years of glorious groundbreaking history, American Radio has died.

A spokesperson for Radio stated, “Radio’s untimely death was brought on by DJs too pussy to play anything not on the corporate-imposed playlists.”

The spokesperson was immediately restrained and castrated by a team of Clear Channel executives.

Allegations of XM's involvement in the death are yet to be confirmed, but sources say that for the low price of $10 a month (plus equipment and installation fees) you'll soon forget all about "free" radio.
