Hype

I never really thought about how much advertising is out there. While reading this essay I couldn't help but look around my room and notice several things on my shelves with adds on them. The similarities to advertising and the brainwashing experiments done in 1950 are kind of scary. I never really thought of advertisements as a form of brainwashing. I suppose that having a add for a product in your face all day would cause it to be on your mind. Some of those add ideas were crazy. I can't believe they want to make space adds that can be seen all night. The part about the bathroom adds made me laugh, because I always read them, because I have nothing better to do while in the bathroom.
