The Glade 4.0

That's because if you do a bode plot of the transfer function for your ear, you don't get a rectangular pulse.

After starting with "ignorant belligerence" and going on for a while about why commercials are loud as **** and annoying and legislation is costly and horrible, the solution is call and complain to each individual TV Station?

Why can't NBC say "no loud **** on our networks." Or for that matter when this is passed why cant TV stations say "sorry this doesnt comply with FCC standards" and shift the onus to the content creators? Either way TV stations would be wise to accept this since the internet is becoming more and more capable of providing better content delivery on demand.

Dash -- because the perception of loudness is subjective and varies from person to person. So unless you're suggesting NBC have one person reviewing every clip broadcast on its affiliates, they can't enforce a standard any easier than the FCC can.

Hmm. Can we call "progressives" "pronies"?

Wait a sec...are you conservative types in support of this actually advocating national legislation for nothing more than a simple annoyance?

No, Kaffis and I are working on the most vile hybrid of government and pre-teen girl's TV show the world has ever seen.

Naw, not y'all.

Conservatives aren't. They're just liberals who want to give everyone's money to Jesus instead of black people.

I dont want federal legislation. In this case I support the goal but not the means. It's not a minor annoyance when the commercials are loud enough to wake the kids and the show is inaudible at the same volume setting.

Another reason I watch very little traditional TV. Netflix stream and on the PC if at all possible.
