Nowadays people are in the middle of huge mass of advertisements called mental polution. That is the thing which we cannot control anymore.
The article "Hype" by Kalle Lasn in Signs of Life in the USA: Reading on Popular Culture gives us example of the sample day of avarage american. Advertisements are part of every person's life. Everything starts on the morning after we woke up. Lot of advertisenents fill our brains just after we turn on TV, walk on the street , using public transportation, watching live sport game, go on a shopping or even when we use the gas station.
It does not matter in what direction we are looking - those eye catching billbords, leaflets, and all other advertisements are everywhere. More over they are not only visual, we can hear plenty of them in the radio or during visiting shopping mall.
The worst part of ads is that we have them all time around. We see them on the nozzle on gas stations, there are also on every ATM, as well as in school's classes. Sometimes we do not even pay attention on our habbits when we are waiting somewhere in line, we see ad and we just read it.
In our generation of electronic devices the most eye catching idea of advertisements are small TVs which we can find almost everywhere, we can see them especially in public transportation. They have big influance on people because during the time we have almost nothing to do we can enjoy some commercial of new model of well known brand of cars, new exercise machine, cell phones or for example extra sharp set of knives.
Advertisements are problem of our population because they floods our brains with mostly useless for us stuff. They destroy our lives because we do not have a time for rest anymore, they keep us working on something all the time, even if we are on vacation that will not change much. We are convicted on company of them for every day of our lives.
