Yes it was!! lol

I don't like the fact that they want to make it a law though. Yes, it sucks to hear the loud commercials, but we do not need government stepping in to turn down the televisions. At least I don't. It would just be common sense for the station employees, who are in charge of that stuff, to turn it down themselves!
