Actually, I think the legislation was that the commercials could NOT be louder than the programs they came with. It always used to annoy me a lot when I was watching TV, my children were sleeping, and then a loud commercial would come blasting out. Since I didn’t have a remote, I would have to jump up to turn down the volume so the kids wouldn’t wake up.
Because it is annoying does not give the federal government the right to regulate it.
