Another name for Hitline, a channel on the Muzak business music service. Hitline plays only the shittiest top 40
pop and hip
hop music they can find, hence the name Shitline. Quick, think of the shittiest song you know. That song probably plays on Shitline 400 times a
day.
Shitline is supposed to play in some places, I'm sure, but most places it's heard is because one of the teenage girls on staff slinked back and changed the music from FM One or Hot FM while the manager was out. Just think about it, no self-respecting adult would willingly force their customers to listen to Nicki Minaj making
god-only-knows-what-noises-those-are or Justin
Bieber doing whatever he does at ear-piercing volumes through that heavily-distorting 50-year-old
set of ceiling speakers. Maybe they would at Gitmo, but not at
Denny's.
