                                             Advertisements:  making and saving money



                         The article "Hype" by Kalle Lasn talks bout the toxic mental pollution of advertisements. The article mentions from the moment your alarm sounds in the morning to the wee hours of the late night TV. every day an estimate 12 billion display ads are dump in to North America's collective unconscious. the article also says, we can find advertisements anywhere we rest our eyes, gas stations, banks machines, buses, billboards, stadiums, basically there is nowhere to run. I believe advertisements are for people to find out ways to safe money and time also advertisements create many jobs which helps the economic of the country.

                        In American where most parents have two jobs. One at home, taking care of their kids in their everyday lives. The other in their career job. In a country where money is important as much as time is, advertisements helps make parents lives easier. Every week out side of my door supermarkets leaves flyers of their specials and sells of the week. These flyers are a great help because I don't have to go to the supermarkets to compare prince neither to wasted my time. In the article "Hype" Lasn says that " A company called VideoCarte installs interactive screens  on supermarkets carts so that you can see ads while you shop". I believe this is a great idea and I am sure this tool will be a great help for families.

                      Advertising a product is never easy neither cheap. I n the article "Hype' Lasn says that "every day an estimate 12 billion display ads, 3 millions radio commercial are introduce in North America" and I believe new idea are always welcome like that VideoCarte in supermarkets which target more people. In America every year the NFL announce the name of the city that is going to host the Super Bow. The city with the honors to have the Super Bowl gets prepare no just to welcome fans that come to watch the game but also for companies that want to advertise their products. The Super Bowl is one of the events that brings more people together like no other one, so companies put advertises all over the city creating jobs of all kind which means money for the city.

                    In conclusion I believe everyone benefits from advertisements. Families looking for better deals to save money and time, and companies created jobs by advertising their products
