Response to "Hype"

  In the article "Hype"by Kallen Lasn talks about how advertisement affects and intoxicates the human mind. The author has stated in this article that there has been 12 billion display of ads alone, 3 million radio commercials, and more than 200,000 thousand TV commercials. The author wrote this because advertisements effect the human mind and intoxicates them with all these advertisements. Advertisement intoxicates and pollutes the human brain.
  Advertisement intoxicates and pollutes the human brain. One reason is because for example if one person wants to be alone and away from people its hard for them to find something like that because people are going to be everywhere no matter were they go to. Its the same for advertisement many people don't want to go to work and see ads like it could drive someone crazy because is so many of them that a person can loose their minds.
  Another reason advertisement intoxicates and pollutes the human brain is because were ever you go ads is going to be there. Advertisements are made to get people to buy things their automatically suppose to be around so its basically impossible to try to run away from it. Advertisement in America is an epidemic to the human brain because it effects they way a person is thinking and the way people react to it. Advertisement can get people to act differently it could get people mad,sad,or even happy.
  In conclusion Advertisements intoxicates and pollutes the human brain. It effects the human brain because it could make them act differently and it would get into to your head one way or the other its impossible to run from it.

blog 1 "hype"

      In the passage "hype"excerpted from kallan lasn. The passage talks about how advertisement  are the most prevalent and toxic of the mental pollutants. which means that it can somewhat brainwash people or get into someones brain just to get to buy things that are useless. The authors message to the readers is that ads are toxic to the brain mentally and physically."There is no were to run" this quote is saying that people cant get away from ads because they are everywhere. I feel like this quote says and explains why ads are mental pollutants because they are so many that its impossible to avoid them.
