Please stop shouting


With the Summer now underway down under the amount of TV worth watching is even less than usual.

I've managed to find two top notch shows tucked away of the new digital channel GEM.

One is The Big C and the other is Mary Queen of Shops.

What bugs me about these shows though are the ads.

Actually not the ads themselves but the sheer volume of the GEM ad breaks.

I swear they're twice as loud at the shows.

Don't the TV networks realise that everyone has a remote control these days?

So as soon as the shouting ads come on we hit the mute button.

Which means rather than noticing the occasional ad we are in fact shutting them off completely.

Weird.

Meanwhile over in the US there's talk of legislation to put an end to this practice.

Not before time if you ask me!
