As Edmunds is reporting today, an outpouring of objections to Howard Stern's radio show among Hyundai customers was a deciding factor in the automaker's choice of which satellite radio provider's service it would offer in its vehicles. In a survey of approximately 350 customers, a company spokesperson said, a "surprising" number of respondents said ba-ba-phooey to the Stern show, as if they might somehow be forced to listen to the show against their will. In other news, the Coast Guard received a "surprising" number of calls that five passengers and two crew members of a yacht lost in a storm during a three-hour tour had been seen on a deserted island. Is this thing on?
