Turkey blocks Twitter after the earthquake

There’s an implicit conversion between intent to sell and actually selling. For there to be advertising, one of the two has to be true. If I’m showing off my car, am I advertising anything?

Strictly, yes..

If you show off your car you are indeed, by definition advertising it.

I know that's not the definition youre referring to, but the word does mean to call attention to, especially in a boastful or ostentatious manner.

But anyway, it's still advertising because the car has the manufacturers badges, it's just not first order commercial advertising.
