HYPE!!

 

 

       In the article "Hype" the author Kalle Lasn; states that advertisements are no longer in the confined to their usual places. the author further went to explain that they have become more prevalent of today, and it have increased so rapidly and relentlessly  that we haven't quite used to it all. Even the country side have been littered with advertisements. advertisement are so popular that they have become the most prevalent and toxic of mental pollutants today. From the moment your alarm sounds in the morning to the wee hours of late night advertisement s flood the brain into over load daily. I agree with the author that advertisement have become more prevalent of today, I also think that there is no hiding from advertisements.

 

      The annoying fact about advertisement is that we cannot go any where without seeing them. Facts are that there is no running and hiding from advertisements. As mindless as they are, advertisements may useful to some while annoying to others. Advertisements comes in different gradients with an numerous amount of meaning some being funny while others degrading to some extent. For example the car commercial that has young women in shorts an just a bikini to try to get some loyal customer to purchase a car or other merchandise. As enticing as that may be to some, it can also be belittling to others of the female sex. Advertisement can become addictive after a while if indulged upon on a daily base it can literally become so monumental that it can take up your life to some extent.

 

      Another fact about advertisement is that it can make you spend unnecessary money on material item that will eventually  become useless in the long run. Thus the items will eventually take up space in your home and your life eventually. For example you already have a million and one pair of shoes that is already not being worn but yet still because the commercial on television says that an added pair will make you loose weight. The advertisement make their pitch so flattering that whom ever is watching it becomes gullible to the fact that it will also become another useless article that takes up space and end up not being used.

     In conclusion to say that advertisements have become more prevalent of today and that there is no running and hiding form advertisements...
