Define "objectionable"

I find dancing seas of M&Ms, giddy swiffering, Old Navy, and random increases in volume objectionable, so I don't see why I should be allowed to skip them.

Wired News: Senate May Ram Copyright Bill: "The bill would also permit people to use technology to skip objectionable content -- like a gory or sexually explicit scene -- in films, a right that consumers already have. However, under the proposed law, skipping any commercials or promotional announcements would be prohibited. The proposed law also includes language from the Pirate Act (S2237), which would permit the Justice Department to file civil lawsuits against alleged copyright infringers."
