In this passages “Hype,” by Kalle Lasn there are several ways advertisements is polluting people’s mind. First of all, T.V commercials are seen about three thousand marketing messages per day. For instances, 12 billion ads, 3 million radio commercials, and 200,000 TV commercials are distribute in North America. Today ads are not found in their usual place like for example buses, billboard, and stadiums. Ads are found everywhere your eyes look.
Second, theirs a company named “Video Carte.” Video Carte installs monitors on supermarket carts so that everyone could see the ads. For example, everywhere I go there always ads. Riding the subways on my way to school there ads about lawyers, cell phones, and new clothing for fashion. I agreed with the author ads are polluting our minds. However we need ads because without it we won't know what is new or what going on our world.
Today ads is more efficient, with the expand of technology and the help of the Internet theirs no escape from ads. When login in your Facebook accounts theirs always ads on the right corner on your screen. For example click the “Like Button” if you like Coca Cola. After you click on the button facebook will refer you as you like Coca Cola with other people. Also it will add the likes on your profile so that other people would know what is your interested on your favorite food, T.V show and music.
On the bright side commercials today has helped the public by educating them. For example television commercials about cigarettes on how its causes cancer. Today there ads about cigarettes explaining to the public the risk on getting cancer. Cigarettes commercials shows people that are already ill from cigarettes as an example. Also getting help by agency that are willing to help people that have problems by quitting smoking. With an educated ads about cigarettes it can make a difference in our world.
Today there ads everywhere and some people have adapted and won’t notice there minds being polluted. On the contrast others have notice. For example watching their favorite videos on YouTube. On my personal experience it is frustrating to watch 25 seconds of a commercial before watching my favorite video on You Tube. Before You Tube’s videos were ads free however because of the expand of the internet ads have taken advantage on how to get to people’s minds.
