Blog 3: Response to Hype.

In today's world we have not been aware about how much businesses are flooding our lives with their Ad's. In the passage Hype by:Sonia Maasik we learn that the world is being polluted by commercials at the rate of three thousand marketing messages per day. Ad's are not like they use to be before placed on buses, billboards and stadiums. They are now even in little shopping carts as TV's.

I agree with Massik that "Advertisements are the most prevalent and toxic of the mental pollutant." My reason for agreeing is because business owners now a days are going above and beyond to promote their products, and I don't blame them being that the economy is bad. For example JG Wentworth, is a company that I'm sure is known for their jingle that I can't stand I have seen that commercial so many times that their jingle is now stuck in my head. It's just not necessary or normal to be watching TV and have most of that time it being taken over by every single commercial some of them even being repeated.

Celebrities I believe are also the biggest people that fallen into this whole advertising scene. Companies see them as big shots and know that if they are wearing,eating,using,partying or staying at whatever it is that their business is about other people will follow in their foot steps. Smart move, But it just makes them seem annoying now. Britney Spears who just made her come back this year lately has been using a lot of advertisement in her videos.In on of her first videos since her comeback she took a lot of items and showed them off to the camera like her own perfume, a cosmetics line and other things as well which is just not appealing usually your excited to see the premier of a new video from your favorite celebrity but not when all they will do is make it and advertise fest.

It's a bit ridiculous how much junk(Ad's) is being dumped all over and we are not even aware of this. All I can say is that I'm sure that we can all come to an agreement that yes this world is being taking over by billions maybe more advertisements that we would have ever thought possible.
