Subvertising with a twist:
Rolo first became a BUGAUP activist around 1980/81 after a run-in with Coles supermarkets which were trial marketing a shopping bag adorned with cigarette advertising at their Chatswood store. When Rolo noticed his purchases had been put into bags promoting Peter Jackson cigarettes, he cancelled the sale and left the store - loudly voicing his disapproval and disgust.

The next day, he and another like-minded friend mounted an attack on the store. Both men piled their trolleys high, waited until the checkout operator had keyed in the items (no scanning in those days), then refused to take them away in the Peter Jackson bags. Just as the Manager was called to remonstrate with the first person, the second hit another checkout with the same tactic. The inconvenience made the trial a total failure and the whole of Australia was spared cigarette ads on checkout bags
Another subvertisement by Lord Bloody Wog Rolo:

I approve! Virtually all advertising pisses me off, I strongly dislike the psychological manipulation involved...

Real decent products such as gin never need advertising...

Well, it might be advertised, but it doesn't need to be advertised...

:hehe:
