The 1 - 2 punch to SiriusXM is to boycott the advertisers.
21 2014-07-06 by [deleted]
If you want to get managements attention, then you need to get the advertisers involved. Write to them, call them, tweet them, whatever - just make it known that you will no longer use their products if they continue to support and advertise on SiriusXM.
Compose a well written and firm statement explaining what is happening (Ant got fired), why you are no longer using their product (because they advertised on SiriusXM), and what it will take for you to start using their product again (rehire Ant or stop advertising on SiriusXM.)
Do not post the same stuff that was posted on XM's facebook page. Childish pictures and angry incoherent rants will not get their attention. They will laugh and say that they do not want you as a customer. Multiple well written letters will get their attention better than cock pictures.
I found this list of advertisers, but I've never heard any of these companies' commercials, so I don't know how up to date this list is. If anyone has a list, please post it.
EDIT:Ok, I meant advertisers of the whole platform, not just the channel. I'm talking about these companies: DirecTV
JCPenny
HBO
Kodak
Johnson & Johnson
at&t
TLC
McDonalds
ABC Unilever
20th Century Fox
Geico
Sony
Anheuser-Busch
Fox
ExxonMobil
Shell
7-11
Paramount
Amex
Sears
Nationwide
Cooper
GM
Subaru
Bank of America
Verizon
NBC
Papa John's
Macy's
Panasonic

It works. Just use a cardboard box, and save your money for the podcast.

"Hello is this own your own oil well? I would like to inform you that in response to the unjust firing of Anthony from the Opie and Anthony show I will no longer be using your product due to your relationship with SiriusXM. Well, yes I'm aware it isn't really a consumable item that I can cease to use. Well technically I don't own one, yet, but if I was ever considering owning my own oil well I certainly am not now. Hypothetically, yes I would be interested but that's not my point. Um, yes I could use some extra disposable income. Really, that sounds pretty reasonable. Sure Ill hold....

Sorry, I disagree. These are the same pussy tactics that people use to bully corporations into getting people fired in the first place. A company fires someone you like, threaten their advertisers. A company doesn't fire someone you don't like, threaten their advertisers. If Howard Stern got fired under the same circumstances I would feel the same way, and I don't like him.
Just turn your back on SiriusXM and support whoever supports O&A.

Exactly. OP has been missing one of the main themes of the past 5 years of the show.

Yeah, I'll get right on that, chief.

This is fucking horrid behavior, let Sirius know you hate them by cancelling your subscriptions, don't go after the fucking advertisers
-1 kumokami 2014-07-06
Those poor advertisers! Don't hurt them!

Shut up Erock
4 jewy_kikeburger 2014-07-06
The same people who would vehemently agree with O&A when they complained about people going after advertisers are now going after advertisers, this is a group of hypocritial children being utterly controlled by their emotions.
0 balderoonus 2014-07-06
Oh, I'd agree it's hypocritical, but wouldn't you take the slightest bit of enjoyment from knowing that you're using these 'special interest groups' tactics against them? I just don't think taking the moral high ground is going to work

But what you are saying is that what the market dictates (i.e the amount of money they gain) should be irrelevant and what YOU WANT is more important?

Your part in the market is irrelevant since you DISREGARD it, you're being tattletale to the advertiser because you want to harm a company. You think your opinion is more valuable than those that still choose to support Sirius. EDIT: To clarify, I hate SiriusXM.

Advertisers should only worry about the amount of potential customers when they choose to advertise somewhere. This shitty behavior of telling them you will ACTIVELY AVOID their product is dishonest, bullying douchebaggery. If you want to show them that advertising on SiriusXM is a bad idea, don't subscribe to SiriusXM.

But how am I supposed to keep my balls fresh now?!
2 shameofyou 2014-07-06
If the truckers started abandoning ship it may be cause for concern, they are very lonely though so that seems unlikely. Maybe the boy shoulda hid better, tattle tale.
2 Spokker 2014-07-06
How the fuck am I supposed to boycott all those companies?
I'm not going to stop playing my PS4 because Antony got fired.
3 iheartdna 2014-07-06
Well, apparently you just don't care about Anthony. Now, I've got to get back to smashing my cable box, siphoning my Shell gas out of my car, and pouring all my baby's Johnson&Johnson shampoo down the drain.

Let's do this thing. Advertisers react to intelligent pressure if it's loud enough.
