It's just that who would have thought that getting people to testify about the oil spill would meet resistance from anyone but Satan? lol

well, they must ignore it then as the satellite channels definately have adverts louder than the programmes especially on the Discovery channels

Advertising Standards Authority deal with complaints and have made judgements against a few of them but most of them seem to be within the allowed limits.

Main problem is than none of an advert is quiet. Any sounds within one that woudn't be as loud as the rest are boosted up whereas in normal speech or whatever the actual interrupted program contained sound levels fluctuate all the time.

The loud ads are fucking annoying for sure. Here in Hungary there was some scandal about this because the volume of the ads was normal, but the channels made the non-advertisents less loud, thus you had to turn up the volume... and than came the ads... So its legal here and ppl can do shit against it.

When I was in Romania a few years ago I saw a crazy form of advertisement: in the middle of the films they showed an ad for like 10-15 seconds and than continue the movie. no intro/outro about its an ad, nothing. very efficient but very annoying.

That's why something like this can get done, and the important things can't get done.

Im surprised the cable companies and satellite providers have not fought this... THEY are the problem. If you notice, most of the time the loud commercials are when the cable company/satellite company runs a local avail, that commercial is louder than the national spots. For example: Joe's Used Cars spots are louder than the Bud Spots.

Im watching the History Channel right now and the Local spots are louder than the national spots.

Next the senate will pass important legislation to give them free commercial time when they run for office, when did they become the overlords of the TV? Oh Yeah, FCC, the guys that want to run the internet, that's who

I'm sure everything will iron out, but politics is politics. Fuck them all.

I don't know much about this, but I doubt it took up many resources or much floor time.

All I can say is about fucking time.

I personally dont have issues with this.

My GF's mom though does and it gets on my nerves when im at her house as she turns the sound completely off when any commercial is on.

To me no sound is far more annoying than loud sound.
