So if the answer to my question was no...I'm sorry but you are sadly mistaken. Without being to envasivel, what are you wearing today? Are you wearing a shirt that says Abercrombie, American Eagle, or Aeropostale? Did you have coffee this morning from your local coffee house or gas station for that matter? Did the cup say the name of that coffee house, or the brand of coffee? Are you wearing a pair of shoes? are they nike or addidas? If you answered yes to any of these question, you have been advirtising, and you've probably been doing it since you were little. I know that most people who whatch there favorite television show have said more than once " I hate Commercials" who wouldn't they take up almost 15 minutes of your favorite show that you wait every week for! But how many times has a Taco Bell commercial came on at like 8 O'clock at night and you're like " Boy I'm hungry" " O they have a late night drive through" " I could go for some tacos after this show" you actually gave it thought to go out and spend your money on tacos even though you probably have food in your kitchen cabinets that you can have.
"Hype" was a great story it really showed me how big advirtising is. Really, think about it! Everywhere you go, you see something that says " buy me, try me". Right? You're in the car, on the bus, whatching TV, shopping, or eating. Those advirtising people are always out to get more money! Companies have great ways to get you to buy. How about NIKE and the ever popular SWOOSH. Everyone wanted to swoosh at one time. In the Story Hype, she shows that all this advirtings is really just hype. To quote " There is nowhere to run. N oone is exemt and no one will be spared..." Kalle Lasn HYPE pg. 201.
