There ought be a law
With all of the problems the USA is facing right now, you think that the legislators would focus on something a little less trivial.
From
Yahoo News/Associated Press:
Senate votes to turn down volume on TV commercials
Legislation to turn down the volume on loud TV commercials that send couch potatoes diving for their remote controls looks like it'll soon become law.
The Senate late Wednesday unanimously passed a bill to require television stations and cable companies to implement industry standards capping the volume of commercials and equalizing the volume between ads and other programming.
The House has passed similar legislation but minor differences have to be worked out when Congress returns to Washington after the Nov. 2 election.
The idea that something like this needs to have Federal regulation just shows how far down the big government path we have strayed. Let the market self-regulate. If you do not like the advertisement, do not buy the product. End of story...
