M does just what your husband does. 
The law was supposed to go into effect during the summer...but if it did, I have not noticed any change in the commercial volume. 
Every once in a while I forget just how frequently commercials dominate the airwaves and I sit down to watch them. What irritates the shit out of me is the extent to which my commercials are interrupted by that bullshit program that's on.
I'm probably guilty of turning up the sound (gotta love that Progressive Insurance chick, "Happens to me all the time!") and walking away too. Then again, I can't quite make out the Capitol One heathens when they're demanding to know what's in my wallet, so the sound goes up.
And that damned gecko. His accent is so thick I can't make it out. So the volume goes up.
What's the problem???
