Blog 4: Revision of "Hype."

                        In this passage the "hype" The author Kalle Lasn inform us that Advertisements are the most prevalent and toxic of the mental pollutants.      The author states that everyday there were an estimate of 12 billion display ads, 3millions of radio commercials, and also more than 200,000 TV commercials. The author say that Ads is no longer in the usual place such as buses, billboards, or stadiums it is everywhere your eyes come to an rest. The Author also state even in company they have advertisement about supermarket carts so that you can see ads while you shop. The Author last paragraph stated that there is nowhere to run and no one is exempt. Lasn state that the pollution flood your brain with a lot of message per day about advertisement.
         The author state that "your kids watch Pepsi and snickers ads in the classroom. If a kid is busy paying attention to ads about Pepsi  and snickers they will not be able to learn anything in the classroom and also fail that class. They should not have advertisement is school cause it will distract a lot kids on their school work. I think that a lot of advertisement will mess up people brain because its so many advertisement that a lot of people will not be able to think.

  1. I think you did a really good job on referring back to the passage. One of the strongest points you made in your essay, was when you briefly talked about how advertising in school could have a bad impact on children learning. I also would like to touch on the part when you stated how advertising is messing with people's brains because it's just everywhere not allowing people to think straight.

  2. I think that the author dose as good job stating Kelley Lasn most important idea, when the author “says advertisements are the most toxic of the mental pollutants”. But the author doesn’t mention her personal opinions until the end of her writing.
