Blog2: Revise Hype essay

                  In “Hype,” Kalle Lasn states that advertisements are everywhere, and it is difficult to avoid from toxic of mental pollants. Now a day, advertisements' increase rates are growing up tremendously in North America. We will have to start dealing with advertisements from early morning to late night until we sleep. Moreover, the author states that in these days advertisements are not only come with billboards, or on satidums but also at unusual places where a small screen at supermarket shopping carts too. Kalle Lasn is right advertisements are distract in our daily lives because it can waste our time and it can harm our society.
                  If I get a chance to watch movie, I would choose to watch from DvD rather than TV channels because most of the tv series and online movie pop up advertisements so many time until I feel impatient to watch them. Moreover, even when I listen to music from radio, there are a lot of commercial come after every three songs and I can't really listen to music from radio. So, whenever I want to listen music peacefully, I have to use my own mp3 player. Furthermore, getting a lot of advertisements informations can waste our time too because we will get hard time to choose. Sometime their prestantion of their products are good, but some products are not matching with their promises. If we encounter with that kind of products, we have to go back and buy for another brands again.
                  In addition, some time even though advertisements give us useful information, some of them will lead our children to the wrong way. The tabaco, alcohol, and gambling industries are the most toxic companies in our society. What ever they advertise is only to make profits for them they don't care who use their products or services. Once I had seen about the Malboro tabaco product advertisement, in that advertisement a cow boy was chasing a black horse with throwing a single rope. That advertisement main idea is a cow boy can solve everything only after he smoked that cigarette. If such kind of advertisement is seen by our future kids, they will imitate an inappropriate thing for their ages. More over, recently Resort World gambling buses advertisement are every where around in the manhattan. Their plan is they will advertise while they are giving service to their customers which mean their buses are running back and forth everywhere to pick up their customers, and drop off at resort.
                   As I have shown, there are nothing advantages for us from advertisements. They will annoy and distract our mentality.
