"BLAST YOU OFF YOUR COUCH" OR CHAIR!!

Am I the only one who really gets sick and tired of the damed
TV programing that allows the sound on a regular show to be increased by 500% when a dammed commercial comes on??

Your sitting there peacefully watching a nice informative show, like "I LOVE NEW YORK" ("what waste of air time") or the "space cadet, with the snot rag around his head" with all the little brain dead cuties around fighting over him,

and a commercial comes on and all the volume adjusting you've done is shot in the ass, by the ESPN commercial, so dammed loud you could hear it across the street above the morons with their loud boom box's driving by.!!?

WHO CAN I BITCH AT???

Buy a Magnavox
1992—SMART SOUND...also known as "automatic volume control", this feature eliminated annoying increases in TV volume (usually found in commercials).

The FCC - Federal Communications Commission. The US Federal government gives the airwaves away to the media circus, who charges admission...

Ok, Andy Rooney of 60 minutes makes well over one million dollars a year - I actually think it's closer to ten million - just for doing his three minute spot on 60 minutes. The reason that kind of money is available to Andy is the commercials you hate. You get 18 minutes of TV out of 30 minutes of broadcasting.

The government has the power to change this, and won't.

See?

Closed caption is entertaining especially when they butcher teh Engrish.

Even better than the closed caption button is the off button.

Vonage used to be the worst but they've toned it down a bit.

There used to be a law that said commercials couldn't crank up the volume louder than what the program was - not that they abided by that law, they never did. But it has gotten worse. (I hate that new york bitch - but she's making a fortune off of being on flaver flav's show (which I also hated). My daughter watches 'rock of love' - what trash, watching these women slut themselves on tv to get the guy to fall in love with them - they totally demean themselves. Kicks the woman's movement back decades.
