                                                   Hype

According to the passage it is talking about the negative side of advertisement. As we can see our mentality is getting polluted by advertisement. When we wake up in the morning alarm sounds, tv commercial and hours of late night tv programs etc. are polluting our brains at the rate of three thousand commercial massages every single day. If we pay attention we can see 12 billion display adds, 3 million radio commercials and almost 200,000 tv commercials are taking our North America's collective conscious.However, when we go for fill our car with gas we see an ad on the nozzle. Also when we go for cash out from the bank machine we see an add scrolls by in the little windows. Now our kids watch pepsi and snickers adds in the class room. As we can see there is no place for run. No one is free from an obligation and no one is spared.most of all the awfull truth is  we can't avoid watching advertisement which is hardly related in our general life.

In the passage the authors stated that "In the silent moment of my life I often used to hear beethoven's Ninth Symphony play in my head. Now i hear that kid singing the Oscar Meyer wiener song." I liked this part and I realized we can live in our own way. In my point of view its only mater due to how much we are addicted to advertisement and how much we make ourselve stay away from it.
