For this weeks current event I decided to do an article on loud commercials. I know from a personal stand point I become very upset when i am watching TV and a commercial comes on and it even hurts my ears because it is so loud. Recently on Thursday a bill was passed that would prevent advertisers from raising the volume to catch the attention of the audience. The sponsor of the bill, Anna Eshoo, D, from California said she was fed up with so many "earsplitting experiences" that she knew she should act on this bill. The bill is currently on its way to President Obama for his signature. Unfortunately processes like these take awhile so if he does decide to sign it, it won't be until about a year later that these new policies come into affect. I was happy to read this article because the only thing I dislike more than commercials are loud commercials.
