Basically, you will no longer be subjected to hearing damage every time a TV show cuts to commercial. Well, by Dec 13 that is.

It's about time, now people won't always have to fuck with the volume during commercial breaks just because the company wanted the extra HEY LOOK AT THIS SHIT factor.  Should've been done like 10 years ago

Sucks that the T.V. channel has to buy a bunch of new hardware to make this work.

Why does that suck?

I think it would be nice if tv stations were held accountable for the advertising on their station too.

Bill was introduced in congress, signed by Obama, and adopted by the FCC. Obama gets the credit why?

For the same reason the President gets the credit/blame for everything else: people don't know/forget how the system works.

Because stations both small and large have to buy a bunch of new hardware in order to stop something that can best be described as a first world problem?

Back end hardware is updated on average about every five years anyway. They (service and program providers) can also 'self certify' themselves to show they are in compliance without having to upgrade anything. You make it sound like its a huge capital investment. It's not.

Duke is actually more of a populist.

Duke could probably get more done in the U.K. with the EDL and the BNP.

I've just stopped watching TV on regular TV channels, mostly because of the crappy commercials played with max volume.

Watch the show on Hulu, or through iTunes.
No commercials for the TV shows, and no 20 minutes of bullshit mandatory "preview of coming attractions" on movies.
