Re: Adverts
I really hate the way that they turn the volume up during ad breaks. You are watching some show with lots of dialogue, so you turn it up a bit. On comes the ads, and instantly you telly nearly blows a fucking cone as "You can't get quicker than a Kwik-Fit Fitter" blares out at a volume that would shame Motorhead, scaring the shit out of you and getting you a telling off from Mrs Micmac. I mean, do you think I will buy something because you shout at me?
Bastards...

The thing is
they think you might have gone out of the room, so they'd better turn the sound up so you can hear it while you make a cuppa.

There's actually a code in advertising law thing that says
that the volume cannot go over a certain level, so what they do is basically hit that limit throughout and use shit loads of compression thus making it fucking loud.

It's those Stella sponsors on Film 4 that get on my tits.

Twats.
