Advertisement is everywhere we go and it is everywhere the eye can see. In this passage "Hype" by Kalle Lasn it speaks on how the number of ads is getting out of control and that corporate America is putting ads on anything that is visual to the human eye. I agree with the author on the point that ads are getting out of hand because not only are ads on TV but there in places that you usually wouldn't expect to see advertisement.
The number of ads that is seen in north America alone is 12,003,200,000 and that is north america alone.That is monstrous number of ads in america by itself. my own personal experience showes me that this is true. as i get up and get ready for school when i get on the bus they have ads on and outside the bus as for trains they have the same thing. Time square has ads on every block and one of my favorites is that building with coca cola ad where it looks like construction workers are inside the building fixing a giant coca cola bottle. When you watch TV the commercial breaks seem longer then the TV episode your watching and the amount of money companies pay the NFL to get there commercial to air during the super bowl because of all the viewers tuning in.
And again ads are getting out of hand when i go to the ATM machine to get money i see mr. clean ads on the machine screen gas pumps with fritos ads on the novels. Advertisement has evolved from TV and billboards now they have little screens in grocery stores that show ads in the store while you shop. Again with another personal experience, we see ads everyday from when we leave the house untill we get in, I walk past a seven eleven and they have high definition screens displaying ads about the store and they have a narrator talking about the ads persuading people to come in the store and buy what the ad is displaying.
In conclusion I have written an eassy about this passage it is about ads and how they are everywhere we go and that the number of ads are growing rapidly I feel that ads should only be limited to Tv screens and on billboards companies are spending too much money on ads to get people to buy there product.
