Whoa shit I read that as it limits the amount of commercials to shows. They turn up the Db for adverts? thats retarded. Sucks the way ads work still then more ads near the end of a film.
Oh my god thank you, no more shitty 15 commercials before a 10 minute showing and have it again

Honestly, I think a good name/acronym for a law increases it's chances of getting passed. Sure, lawmaking shouldn't be about branding like that, but if it works, it works.
I can now sleep peacefully, listening to the nice quiet chatter without [B]"DEALS DEEALS HOLY SHEAT THESE FUCKING DEALS OH MY CHRIST"[/B]
Best law the US has passed in decades
Too late. Already cut the cable.
I had it with 34 minutes of content taking up 1 hour blocks. I had it with once decent channels turning into reality TV trash. And most of all I've completely and utterly had it with 400 thousand banners running on the content I'm watching, sometimes compressing it, distorting it, or using flashy animations. I'm on the net now with content I care about about on demand with and I have zero desire to go back. Tough shit.
Finally! Free of that shit forever.
This reminds me of how in most movies, the dialogue scenes are always super quiet so you have to turn it up to hear it, but when something like an explosion happens it's loud as fuck and you have to turn it back down.
I hate that so much.

This bitch...
Even though I don't watch TV anymore, I still think this is good
Thank God!
I said this before, but I really don't understand why they raise the volume so high on advertisements anyway. Sure it gets people attention, but you also managed to piss them off. Seems very detrimental to selling your shit no one cares about.
[QUOTE=Glaber;38821583]About time something like this happened.[/QUOTE]
This is socialism! Why should the government get to tell corporations how to advertise. Another Obongo mistake.

At least some Australian ads aren't loud and obnoxious:

Too bad I got rid of cable and replaced with a Roku.
Thank Talos. This bullshit always ruined COPS for me, the actual show would play at some bullshit low volume where I had to turn the volume up to around 27 to hear it, then as soon as it went to a commercial break my ears got fucking blasted because the ads were painfully loud at anything over volume level 18.
no ads doctor who master race
I've slept well since it went into effect.
Not that I watch TV but with commercials bleeding through 2 of 4 walls of your bedroom, on different channels, randomly going to loud commercials, it is pretty hard to even get a few hours worth of sleep.

I lol'd.
Im kinda confused.
Does this limit the amount of commercials shown at a time, or the annoyance of commercials?
Lucky bastards.

The way television programming used to be, a graphic representation of the sound level of a standard episode would look like this -------^^^^-------^^^^-------^^^. The upward spikes were every commercial, which tended to broadcast speech at the maximum broadcastable volume (similar to the explosions and car crashes in the TV show)
The new legislation dictates that commercials should be in line with the standard volume of the networks, so ideally, it'll be more like -----------------------------------.
People watch ads?. That's why it's called a break. To reality and beyond.
