     In the passage, '' Hype", by Kalle Lasn,  the author discusses the hype of advertisements and how everyday people  are storing thousands of marketing ads, radio commercials, etc.  in their brains. In addition, the author makes the point  that nowadays more kids  know the Oscar Meyer wiener song than  a Beethoven Classic. Basically the narrator is discussing the idea that people are storing useless information in there brain, and its due to the 12 billion display ads and the 3 million radio commercials. Its not the fault of individuals that their getting this  overwhelming amount of information There is nowhere to hide; there  are ads all over the place, on billboards, buses, stadiums etc. Everywhere you look there is an ad telling you about something new to purchase.
         As  I read this passage, it makes me really wonder how many ads that I see per day, and there may be more than 20 ads, which can be seen from building towers to taxis, especially in New York city, where there an ads on every block. Also, from watching the most recent Sunkist commercial, with the girl dancing, I  know how to do the dance and sing the song by heart. While sitting at home and watching one of my favorite shows , “The Bad Girls Cub”, the Sunkist commercial happen to come on twice before my show come back on. People remember commercials  by having the t.v. on and the commercials constantly playing.     
           Ads are a part of society and the human race, ads are not going away and there is no exception,   no one will be spared, and there is nowhere to run!
