WHY ARE THEY SO LOUD?!
Any program I'm watching, any movie-on-tv any TV show,
The two of us scramble for the mute button because the commercial breaks threaten to blow out our eardrums.
I understand the technique of making them slightly louder to get people to pay attention to them, but lately it seems like someone has turned up the volume way more than what is comfortable. I'd be fine with supporting ad campaigns if they made it tolerable.
I can't have a conversation with anyone whom I am watching TV with if the commercials are on or we've muted it because we're too busy yelling "WHAT?" at each other.
