Hype

In the article "Hype" by Kalle Lasn, explains that advertisements are affecting us as a  whole in every way. According to Kalle, advertisement feels like mental pollutants towards the brain because they are entirely taking the control of our minds. If you go outside, you may see an ad right by a bus stop. That’s one way to show you that ads are everywhere. Kalle stresses the fact that ads can is taking over the world or already did.

           What Kalle said is agreeable. It’s obvious; ads are really all on top of us. I believe the ads are all on top of us mentally, physically, and emotionally. Ads are on us mentally simply because it’s taking over our eyes. Everywhere we go, the ads are there. Ads are all over the metropolitan transportation stations. Not only the ads are taking over our mind, but we tend to try to keep up with the latest technology that was presented through the ads you see throughout the day.

            Ads are on top of us physically because we go out our ways to get that six hundred dollar phone or that thirty thousand dollar car. We tend to work ourselves even harder to get that material which is insane. We want to get overtime to get that extra money or save more than you usually do to get what you want. Last, ads are all on top of us emotionally in many ways. Ads have us emotionally because materialistic items make us happy.

            When we do not get that item we couldn’t get then we become upset. For example, those new Jordan’s you love are limited and are in very few stores. You tend to waste your time and wait on the line for the Jordan’s which also involve your physicality. When it’s finally your turn to get your Jordan sneakers that you waited so long for on line, and the workers in the store tells you that they are sold out, you would want to go insane which is sad.  

            Let’s face it; you can’t run away from ads. Ads make the world go round along with money and women which is irreverent to the article but it does make the world go round. Ads simply want to tell you to keep up with the world.
