Hype Essay

          Now and days you can find an advertisements any were that you go. An advertisement can be found in movie theaters, food, transportation's, stores, things that people tend to use. In "Hype" by Kalle Lasn she say's that people get polluted with all these advertisements and I agree with her, people are getting manipulated by these advertisements that they hear on TV or what they see outside on the streets.
          When your filling up the car with gas you would see an ad on the nozzle, or when you got to the bank and your waiting for your money to come out you would see an advertisements on the screen. Finding advertisements everywhere its not healthy you cant lay your eyes anywhere without seen an advertisement.
           One day when I was walking to school I saw this very interesting advertisement on the screen that left me with my mouth open, it was the new baconator sandwich from Wendy's and guess what it manipulated me to go and buy the sandwich and because of that I was late to class that day. I've also seen people go crazy on the news because of what they advertise on black Friday. On black Friday one person has been killed because people stepped on him when they were trying to get into the store.
         
Advertisements can be found any where, they manipulate people by polluting there mind with ads and things they might want, that at times people get killed or late to class. No one is safe from advertisements that the best thing to do is just to ignore them.

        In the passage called hype from Kalle Lasn it states that advertisement is the thing that pollutes the mind the most. Advertisements has increased that you can find an advertisement  anywhere your eyes comes to rest.
When you fill up the car with gas there would be an ad on the nozzle, there would also be an ad on the bank machine when your waiting for your money.
        The passage states that "there us nowhere to run. No one is exempt  and no one will be spared. In the silent moments of my life, I often used to hear Beethoven's Ninth Symphony play in my head. Now I hear that kid singing the Oscar Meyer wiener song." I agree with this passage because its true there is nowhere to run form ads, Everywhere you look there would be an ad, train station, buses, fast food, TV's everything has an ad.
        On my way to school there would be an advertisement on wendy's new baconator, and it would just fill my mind with the desire of me wanting that baconator because of how delicious it look, I would also find advertisement on things that I might need like a new electronic and i would go out and buy it.
         Advertisements can be found everywhere and they pollute people's mind it can "flood your brain" because of how many advertisements are out there.
