subvertising in manchester

am prepared to be shouted down, flamed here, i quite like the asthma one, but im not sure how helpful scrawled messages like these help the cause

apart from the fact a lot of folk wont want their kids to see the kind of language used, well its just a cheap stunt, not particularly big or clever and will only re-affirm misconceptions about the anarchist movement in the minds of many

im all for subvertsising, but think it needs to be clever or funny, at least as clever as the ad under attack, this just looks like drunken scrawled graffiti and is unlikely to win over anyone to the cause and in fact might engender sympathy with the advertisers

if thats the best you can manage then imo opinion a better strategey would be to just destroy the ad, rip it down make it go away.

just my opinion like

essentially they are boring and uninspiring. and i think the 'buy a bike fatty' was stolen from me!

I think they're cool.

It was drunken scrawling,
we couldnt phsically rip them down at the time but i like the idea.
Suprised some1 thinks the words 'get a bike fatty' are for their use exclusively.
look forward to seeing some better efforts
