A lot of people turn the volume down during commercials, so they decided to make people listen to the ads buy cranking the sound.
Advertising is insidious. It creates needs and wants where there was none before. I especially hate hearing the children I nanny exclaiming, "I want that!!!!" after every commercial. It's horrible. I can see why many parents don't let their children watch tv other than PBS or none at all.
Part of my sexuality course discussed how advertisers use sex, guilt, and insecurity to sell to people. I'll keep pushing this doc until people watch it: Killing Us Softly 4

During commercials, I get up and do random chores around the house. I've never like sitting through commercials and have been suspicious of them most of my life.
