Try using the Mute button on the remote, or just simply turn down the
volume. It's a lot cheaper than having a custom made filter! Then
when the commercial expires, you will be stuck with a useless device!

If you're not familiar with Billy Mays, he's the dark bearded fat man
who can not speak in a normal tone, only yells and screams. *He does
commercials for Oxy Clean, Hercules Hook, and all sorts of other
useless junk. *The ideal solution would be to hang him from a hercules
hook, and while giving him an oxy clean enema, remove his vocal
chords. *But that's not likely to happen.

I'm getting really tired of manually hitting the mute button on my
remote everytime his abrasive and most irritating yelling voice
invades my serenity. *There's got to be a way to automatically detect
his obnoxious voice and instantly mute the sound for the duration of
the commercial. *

If anyone can develop one of these, they could become wealthy. *Please
post the schematic if you know a way to block him.

One final comment. *If you hate this guy as much as most of us do,
NEVER, EVER buy anything he advertises. *Besides most if not all the
products he promotes are junk, (recently proven by consumer groups).
You do not want to support his products. *If sales drop, his
commercials will also be dropped, and he'll fade out of out
televisions and never be heard from again.

Until then, we need a Mays Filter !!!!
