TV remote control that Mutes commercials?

Is there a TV remote that will mute the sound during commercials? If not, someone should crowd fund the development of such a device. I would pay $50 for one.

The sound typically increases during commercials, plus there is some much repetition of commercials. It's sickening.

Update:

The original basis for cable was that there were no commercials. For your retirement investment, buy a cable tv stock.

Update 2:

There is a settop box that mutes ads, but it requires a settop box to work. I have a direct cable connection, so the "Mute Magic" doesn't work for my TV.

Update 3:

To clarify, I want a remote that AUTOMATICALLY mutes the commercials, and yes, I am aware that all standard remotes have a mute button.

    You do realize you can just push the mute button on your regular remote, don't you? It takes a micro-second and maybe a 50th of a calorie in energy.
