The passage "HYPE" by
Kalle Lasn indicated that advertisements are increasing so quickly from day by
day. However, they have a disadvantage is that commercial contamination seems
rubbishes which bristle people’s brains with uncountable commercials. They
appear almost everywhere in our living environment after added new places
(including buses, billboards, stadiums). They spread out by TV, radio, posters,
newspapers, network, and etc. For instance, you will see the ads on the nozzle
when you fill your car with gas; Children watch Pepsi and Snickers ads in the
classroom; Also, you might see ads from a company called VideoCarte while you
shop in the supermarket. I strongly agree with the idea that the author had
mentioned is commercials are such trashes in people's mind, because I feel it
represents the significance that they usually hide the truth (bad consequences)
for inducing people to consume with their products or services. Actually, most
of the products or services people purchased are different from the commercials
had shown and described. There are two experiences from me and my friend who
had suffered the same problem.
Some of skin care products are useless, but
in their ads, they have been exaggerated. For instance, my friend, Elaine, who bought
many skin care brands after watched their ads from TV, such as Chanel, La
Prairie, DIOR, Lancôme, and Clinique. Those ads show that women’s skin are
getting better and look younger than before. Certainly, Elaine trusted them and
tried one by one. However, her skin still looked same as before. Finally, she
went to dermatologist to figure out which skin care products for her are valid,
and ignored to buy the any of skin care products from ads.
Unfortunately, I experienced the
same problem too. I watched several commercials of hair products which
described how those shampoos and conditions are efficient and fantastic. For example,
their models’ hair are no longer with dandruff, also they look bright and touch
as smooth as silk after used those products which are Pantene, Dove, Head &
Shoulders, TRESemme, and etc. Of course, the result is not the same as they
showed on commercials because I’ve never gotten rid of dandruff from my hair,
and still dryness. From now on, I’m never going to trust any of the promotions
from commercials.
Obviously, advertisements are
trustless and footle on the basis of the experiences
above. They are irresponsible for the products which had promoted. To encourage
people to expend their money on the products by concealing the truth and
overstate the results are the selling method from the manufacturers. So,
don’t be cheated from them! Although,
we are unable to prevent those ads’ arises, but we can choose to trust or not.
I think it’s the only way to avoid from wasting our money on the worthless
products.
