Personally, I mute commercials, and I'd rather burn the energy to do that, than have my consciousness sucked away by being forced to listen to their drivel.
I only watch a really limited amount of TV anyway. Fringe, Big Bang Theory, local news, pretty much.
The hard part of this would be connecting some crowd-sourced mute intelligence to the actual mute button on the TV.
