While I think along these lines....

I also ask this same question.

So all of these years people have been complaining to elected officials, yet it was a dem who decided that now (of all times) was a good time to act on it?

Brilliant.

If the Government isn't going to regulate it, who is?

You?

If enough people get together, and say "We're sick of this shit", shouldn't the Government respond?

You realize this is supposed to be a democracy, right?

JC

The government controls the airwaves. They're already involved in it.
This is fact. I can't scream "cocksicking motherfucking bitch" on live TV due to government regs.

Do you all complain about them being involved with that? Or is that ok?

I have a friend that’s a NC House representative, and he complains all the time that his job is to mainly "Legislate common sense"

He said that the big boys trying to make a name for themselves (so they can move on to line their pockets) generally have an agenda, but for the most part, their job entails making new laws so that stupid people (lacking common sense) don’t hurt themselves or piss off everyone else.

I complain about it, I hate censorship.

BUT, since they're already in there, and we all know there is no cure for a Governmental viral infection, they might as well turn the volume down on those goddamn commercials.

That's awesome! I hate how the volume jumps up at commercials.

And yes, I still watch Live TV. I am from the stone age.

Don't most TV's nowadays (or made after like 2004) have automatic volume control?
I notice a volume change from channel to channel more than from program to commercial.

No...because private industry is providing the service which you are not forced to buy (unless it's public tv).

You do realize that alot of cable channels DO NOT HAVE FUCKING COMMERICALS! So, if you don't like the commericals, then watch a cable channel that doesn't air them.

People will bitch about anything, but each year our government is gaining way too much control.

Actually I'm surprised this didn't come from a Republican. Just because people complain about shit, doesn't mean the government needs to spend time make laws against it. We have 10 zillion laws now we cannot follow. Why do we need more?

And I read the story....
