TV Commercial Sound Volume

When is the new law that forces TV ads to be at the same sound level as the program's
sound level going into effect?

When a TV commercial blasts its volume greater than the program's sound level,
I change the channel. And many times, I do not go back to that channel. I remember
that advertiser so I can never buy from them. I do not remember the TV ad or the product. I just
selectively remember to avoid that company's products. And sometimes, I have even stopped
buying a product I once used regularly.

I vote with my dollars every day with every purchase. And you vote with your purchases.
If you find that a TV commercial is offensive or too loud, you might change the channel.
And you might avoid buying the company's products.

I go one step further. I call up the company and complain about their loud TV commercial.

And that's the way I see it...

TV ads that lie by avoiding the details

Even though I have this insurance, I was surprised that the feature
they claim in their ads is very restrictive, mis-leading and lying.

They say that if your car is totaled, they will replace your car with a
new car one year newer. Sounds good. BUT what they show in their
written advertising to me is that they will only replace a NEW car
that is less than 15 months old and has limited mileage on it.

That is completely different than the TV ads lead the viewer to believe.

To me, when you hide an important fact, you are not just
mis-leding the viewer, you are lying to the viewer.

And that's the way I see it...

Mercedes does it best

The Mercedes TV ad where the car seems to slide towards the viewer and
the camera is continuous from outside on the right thought the cabin and
out the left side of the cabin to a long view. WOW!!! Great Camera work.

And that's the way I see it...

ServPro TV ads

Are you as disgusted with this TV commercial as I am???

The home os on fire and everything personal will be lost.
The basement is flooded and all there furniture and storage will be ruined.

But the homeowner (Usually a woman( is on the home with someone and saying
everything is alright.

OR the cleanup person is behind her and she is saying everything will be alright.

But things will NOT be OK. There will be a long waiting time before anyone can get
in and get an estimate for repairs so the homeowner can give that estimate to
their insurance company. Then there will be the clean up, repair and replacements.

BUT some things will never be returned to the homeowner. The lost pictures and
lost back ups on the hard drives of computers will be destroyed. OK here is
where the cloud can come in. BUT this is years away before most people have
their backup and pictures on the cloud.

In the meantime, when tragedy strikes, the time to get back to anywhere near
as before is months away and months of living at relatives or in a hotel.

Everything is NOT OK ServPro. Your TV ads are misleading. Your fake
comfort is misleading.

And that's the way I see it...

Land Rover ads are mean

Just saw a Land Rover TV ad where a man was the 7th wheel.
The three couples were arrogant and socially rude. After viewing this
TV Commercial, I will never buy a Land Rover and I will never
give a Land Rover the right of way. If Land Rover thinks its drivers
are this type of stupid and rude people, who am I do argue with
their market polling.

Net, Net, Net People who drive Land Rovers are not people you or I would want to be around

And that's the Way I See it...
