Stern Fans Pissed About Howard's Two-Month Vacation

Howard Stern is a wealthy man. He was a wealthy man before signing a new deal with Sirius XM worth $500 million, but he's now officially reached "f--k it, I can pretty much do what I want" status. I mean, Stern already had some of that in him -- that's why he's Howard Stern -- but we've reached new levels.

Right after signing his new deal, Stern decided to take a two-month vacation from the end of June to the beginning of September. I've been told I have to take a week's worth of vacation at some point this summer, and I have no idea what I'll do without that daily grind for seven days.

But sign me on for a deal worth half a billion dollars? No promises.

Apparently, Stern's vacation decision has ruffled some feathers amongst his fans. And when I say ruffled some feathers, I mean they're absolutely pissed. Some fans on Reddit have even threatened to cancel their subscriptions over the whole ordeal.

Here's a whole thread titled “Howard Stern taking the whole summer off is bullshit."

Good job, Howard. Going to have to start calling you A-A-Ron because you've done messed up. You were already reportedly worth $650 million, so I don't know how you're going to recover financially from this fiasco.

All joking aside, I bet it does suck to have the sole reason you're spending $20 a month on a Sirius XM subscription take a two-month hiatus. If I cared that much about Howard Stern -- or anyone else, for that matter -- and that person pulled a stunt like that, I'd probably be pissed too.

But good luck rallying those troops to try and put a dent into Sirius XM's pocket. I'll be keeping up with all this from afar and pulling for you guys.
