Eric's First Entry
I agree with what Eric says about marketing and advertising. In using Fenway Park as an example he creates a good visual. How ever, I disagree with what he has to say about propaganda. I believe propaganda is very similar in style to advertising. It differs in the sense that it is based around untrue facts. Say that Ford sign said, "Buy a Ford because Chevrolet is racist" Yes, this could be true (though extremely unlikely), but there is no evidence to support it. Yes, it may pull customers away from Chevrolet (those that believed the statement to be true), but clearly their advertising slogan of, "Built Ford Tough" is much more truthful and potentially more effective.
This may be an extreme example but I hope you may be able to see what I believe to be the difference more clearly.
