There is a bill before the Senate that will hopefully stop this. Also, many cable providers and TV makers are looking at ways of stopping it as well.

Currently, commercials cannot be any louder than the loudest part of the program they are shown on. Take a show like House. Most of it is lower volume talking and discussions. Add one yell, explosion or loud beeping machine and that's the baseline volume commercials can use.

Ya, more and more commercials and less and less show.

Just like tuna fish. It's more expensive,the can is smaller and the tuna fills half the can
when you press out the juice.

And they wanna tell ya there is LITTLE inflation.

Ice cream too , smaller containers now. Breyers. Top is same size but bottom is tapered down to smaller size. They think I'm stupid like I won't notice after the first buy.
