…So the FCC won’t let me be
Or let me be me
So let me see…
Unless Janet Jackson decides to show her other breast on prime time television, it is Congress and the FCC that need legislative restraints.
Oh, wait. That’s what the Constitution is for.
In an age of DVRs, online television, torrent downloads, YouTube and mute buttons, no one has any excuse for complaining about the noise of television commercials. It is every right of the advertiser to pump up the volume. People like to complain about anything and everything, but let’s be adults. If you don’t like the volume of commercials, find a way to eliminate the noise. Congress botches everything it puts its finger on. Why would noise regulations be any different?
On a side note, I personally almost never watch live television. The few shows I do follow are offered online where the commercials are few, if they exist at all, and turning the volume off is a snap. One’s outlook on life vastly improves when the intake of commercial noise is reduced.
