Lords want TV ads cut by 20 percent by Kate Goodacre
(from Digital Spy)
The House of Lords Communications Committee has recommended cutting the number of advertisements on television... "our recommendations would encourage both public service and commercial broadcasters to provide their viewers with quality original UK television programmes."
What better way to encourage broadcasters to make more programmes than cut the amount of money they earn, eh?

In possibly the only instance of it on the entire Internet, nearly all the comments are quite interesting too (and most more digestible than the article itself, it must be said).
