Somewhere in this great nation is a top-secret government agency in charge of providing aid to America's nonhuman citizenry. Perpetually overworked and underpaid, these dedicated civil servants soldier on with a dedication exceeded only by their respective passions for heavy rifles, stylish footwear, and good sturdy squeaky toys. They're not our country's best nor our country's brightest, but to all the lost and lonely creations of misguided science wandering the wild places of this country, they are a beacon of minimum-wage hope. This is their story.

Actually, it is off. Your ears are going to take at least a week to return to normal…

The commercials in radio have gotten much louder in the last year. (Doing what TV’s done for the last couple of decades, I guess.) Kinda ruins trying to use headphones with the commercials blasting away.

@Nabuquduriuzhur
TV commercials have been louder than the shows since 1950.

re: night-gaunt
true. Seems like they are extra loud in the last few years, though.

I don’t understand their reasoning in advertising. When the TV blasts a commercial, people hit the mute button, meaning that their message is lost. If they kept it a similar volume to the program, wouldn’t the tv watcher be more likely to listen to it?
