KKen is really cracking me up with all this pseudo-intellectual unconstitutional schtick.
Perhaps he didn't do his homework so he doesn't know that the government already regulates the volume on television commercials, has for a long time. This bill is about re-writing the regulations.
Current regulation stipulates that the commercial can be as loud as the loudest part of the program on which the ad is placed. Even if say, that's a loud explosion. And so the ad makers have been exploiting this rule to make commercials ludicrously loud relative to the program you're watching. This bill seeks to remedy a poorly stated regulation. It's hardly precedent setting.
I'm glad you're amused.
