Have the FCC regulate the amount of TV commercials to 5 minutes per every half hour of air time

Created by B.S. on February 24, 2013

For years now TV networks have slowly taken time away from TV shows for more commercials. When will this stop? At a 15 min half hour? I say it's time to act now before the problem gets worse than what it is now. In the age of DVRs commercials are becoming obsolete. They no longer serve the function of informing the consumer, they are a nuisance that has gotten out of control. It has become obvious that there is no regulation on the networks limiting how much content vs commercials they have. Government has a duty to enact those regulations.
