HYPE

"Commercial pollution floods our brains" ;what the author is trying to say is that we haven't had the time to realize how fast and easily we have been contaminated because of the media. There is no choice, not even a chance to escape pollution. Every little thing we do since the very first moment when we wake up in the morning to the relaxing moments at night, we wouldn't be enjoying a quiet time, as the author referred he used to "live years ago" There is no "advertising free" place around us, anywhere our eyes can possibly come to rest is now a place that incorporated America's view, necessarily must be filled with a logo or message that reminds you about the brand, the importance or even the organic origin of the product.  Incredibly an estimated 12 billion display advertisements, 3 million radio commercials and more than 200,000 TV commercials are dumping into North America's collective unconscious. Advertisements are the most toxic and harmful of the menthal pollutants but sadly, there is nowhere to run.
