Good, about time. DVRs will be the smoking gun.

I am happy to see this.

[bobo1]

I got a mute button. I only see commercials, I never hear them.

How many more laws do we need!

Let’s get our savior the government involved in more things to protect you against anything that might offend you.

sorry, I do not agree.

Now, about those annoying, obtrusive telemarketing calls to mobile phones...

[jeffc]

I read a "defense" of the commercial's volumes somewhere, sometime. It claimed that they really were no louder than the loudest part of any program you watch (think about how loud explosions or gunfire, etc. are in the show and compare them to the commercials).

Ha ha. I'm not falling for that! I think comparing the talking of the show to the commercials is a much better way to compare, and the commercial is MUCH louder. Also, it is very annoying to be watching TV late at night when everyone is asleep and you get up during a break to go to the kitchen (or elsewhere...) and, all of a sudden, the TV is booming some stupid commercial throughout the whole house.

I would have probably been ecstatic over this news, had it come ten or fifteen years ago. Too late now. My viewing of current programming has dwindled down to virtually nil. Watch primarily dvd’s. Of older fare, from tv-series to movies. Reflective of when both America and its culture were still decent and something to take pride in.

Whaddya know, job creation! Gonna take hundreds if not thousands more bureaucrats to shuffle all the paper from this one!

[Hardraade]

So the lefty ads for lefty companies that drove me to drop my satellite feed can now get the creeps arrested? No more al Jazeera?

[TexasGunLover]

Who has watched a commercial in the last 7-8 years anyway.... DVR’s got rid of them...

[Uncle Miltie]

Does this apply to the Government hectoring you at massive decibels over public address systems?

[bgill]

For the past two months, commercials have been BLASTING. Just now one came on loud and was lowered seconds into it. That tells me someone is being paid to manipulate the volume somewhere along the line. Bookmarked and ready to start reporting.

[Fresh Wind]

It’s even quieter when you turn the TV off altogether.

Good, about time. DVRs will be the smoking gun.

Why, of course! Because government-meddling is just fine if it's something you agree with.

For Pete's sake, can't you leave your little, personal dislikes aside for a minute and see how the government increasingly insinuates itself into every tiny, unimportant piece of our lives?

[Springman]

Great news Clint. Now I remember why I left this on the computer this morning/last night.

BTTT.
