Commercials have to be stopped .They are out of control and getting worse . Come on people , wake up . I want to watch a movie on line with only 3 commercials . one commercial during each quarter . Right know they are playing 2 to 3 commercials every 10 or fifteen minutes at a total of five or six times during a movie .They are out of control and getting worse because no one has put a limit on how many commercials can be shown during a movie . It is really bad and know they are showing commercials over the top of the movie in the corners while the movie is playing .

Answer 2

It depends on where and what form of advertising. In the US, the FTC would regulate general practices. The FDA would have a say about food and drug claims (organic or fat-free, etc). The FCC regulations must me followed for TV and radio advertising regarding profanity and sexual content. There are also regulations about what can be sent through the mail, etc.
