This is a good example of how Big Government regulations go beyond the pale to hold power over its subjects.

Is it really?

How do you suppose you will alert people to actual emergencies when TV broadcasts are full of the Emergency Broadcast System tones being used to announce a very special episode of "Sean Saves the World" or a new $5 Pizza Pizza lunch combo?

Good point. It was something I did not think about. All we need would be TV commercials continuously irritating us with that nasty emergency alert tone and Burger King showing an emergency alert for its new $2.95 buffalo wings.
