victim to hyperreality?

I have definately been a victim of hyperreality. The one way that mainly pops out to me is thru commercials. For example, a nike commercial says that you will become a great athlete that is faster and will perform better in their shoes. So I go out and buy those shoes. Does it really make me that all star athlete? No. in fact, in this particular example I wore the shoes for a couple weeks and I tore 3 ligaments in my knee while wearing those shoes. But anywho. Everyone is probably a victim of hyperreality in some way. I mainly just thought of how commercials affected me.
