Blog 2: "HYPE"

   In the article "Hype" by Kalle Lasn, the author argues that advertisements have been part of the Americas "mental pollutants." Everyday thousands of TV and radio commercials pollutant floods people's brain. Today, advertising has grown significantly. Moreover advertising play on informative role for the consumers and enable them to purchase products and services. I agree with Lasn that advertising exhibits negative effect in society.
   Everywhere people go, they see form of advertisement which to influence consumers to buy something. In  America, people lives absolutely flooded with advertising. For example; by the time when we open our mailbox unless we see something particularly  eye catching, where determined to rid ourselves of it as quickly as possible. Also TV commercials trying to influence people to buy something.  For example;  When I watch TV I see the products description and I decide to purchase that product  without having any type of pressure or influence to it. Sometimes I think we have too much form of advertisement anywhere.
  Many people don't  know that "advertisement" are the most prevalent and toxic of the mental pollutants." People trying to buy whatever they see on TV or shop buy online without having any pressure.
