It may sound trivial, but this will directly affect my life for the better admitedly in a small but very welcomed way. Yes gov't does have bigger fish to fry, but we're all capable of multi-tasking these days, (well most of us anyway) so I'm glad this small benefit to the common good is on track.

It will be nice - if it passes. The text of the bill merely requires the FCC to establish a standard. If the standard is based on peak volume, median volume, or average volume, advertisers can find ways around it through dynamic compression or other technical means.

Is this a serious story, or a prank from The Onion? If this is the best Rep. Eshoo can do with *our* time, it's clearly time to replace her.

How many kids have been woken up because of some loud commercial, because one couldn't get to the remote in time. On a recent poll in the SFgate, i saw 800 people were totally for it and like 79 people against it. I totally agree with the 800 people.

The solution is simple people: stop rotting your brains and turn off your TV.
