Hurray! One of my pet peeves has been solved (hopefully). There's nothing worse to me than watching TV and when a commercial comes on having it be unbearably loud. Legislation just passed that forces the volume of the show and the commercials be the same. I'm sure there will be some ways around that for the savvy media companies, but I'm happy.
I know a lot of people will complain that our elected officials have more important things to do -- but this is a simple and straight forward law that will effect most of us at some point. I like it.
