In the passage "Hype" Kalle Lasn goes on to discuss that advertisements, television commercials are the most prevalent and toxic of the mental pollutants. She states that from the moment we wake up until late into the night our minds are filled with about three thousand marketing messages per day. The author believes that the rise in commercials advertising has happened so quickly and relentlessly right before our eyes that we failed to realize it. Lasn feels that advertisements are no longer confined, now what ever surface business might feel will grasps your attention leaves room for promoting what it is they might have to sell no matter how peculiar the location. I think Lasn makes a valid point, no matter where we turn there is no escaping and no one is exempt from the world of advertising.

  I agree with the author but to a certain degree, I do believe there is a time and a place for everything. I would be bothered as well if im driving out of town, enjoying the scenery and my view gets inturupted by an enormous bill board every couple o f miles. In the school on computer screens, in the office space moving across vending machines. As well as in the stores while you shopping they continue to push advertisment. Then another majority of Ad's are not only visable but audio and get played over the radio. You can think that your coming home after a long day at work turn on the radio and relax while listerning to some jazz music. Then out of nowhere commercial about car insurence ruind the mood and focus of your relaxation.

  I have to disagree with the author on the point that I dont think that "advertisement are the most prevalent and toxic of the mental pollutants" there are things that can be worse. I know a lot of people who might find some commercials helful, informative, and can even save them a buck or two. As well as others including myself who look forward to the commercials come around superbowl time, where sports fans are just as excited for the ad's as they are for the actual football game.
