 Advertisements are major and toxic of the mental pollutants .For many reasons, Such as we see advertisements every day 24/7. It  was stated in “Hype” by Kalle Lasn that’s on an everyday bases about “12 billion display ads, 3 million radio commercials and more than 200,000 TV commercials are dumped into North America’s collective Unconscious.” Everywhere you look there are ads.
Another example stated by the author to support this significant idea is the example she gave us about the pumping of the gas. Every time you go to the gas station to pump gas you see an ad on the nozzle. There is no escaping the advertisements for the simple fact that they are everywhere.
Even at my school. I saw an ad in my classroom of a cheeseburger and after brought one. These ads are a major mental pollution. Seeing the ad for a quick second can make you want what you see.This is an example of how ads can be major.
