Not sure how these would be categorized. Some would call it making art, some would call it making memes, and some might call it parodying. There are conversations for each, why not for this?
I'm told this used to be much more of a pastime than it is now. In any case, the procedure would be simple. The advertising we so often get, someone would look at that and think "I'm going to have some fun with this" and "ad vandalisms" were born. They would consist of everything a certain ad would say but with things scribbled over them like one would do with graffiti and ordinary vandalism, which would then sometimes be seen by people who like a good time.
This was especially the case during certain eras when advertisers would happen to violate certain rules imposed on them regarding how to go about what they were doing (which, depending on your source, is more or less the case currently). In the off-chance that some of these advertisers would object to what was going on by the way, they couldn't do anything as the advertiser would often have broken too many rules on the outset in the act of doing what they came to do (e.g. when they began being "in your face" in the way they currently are in some spaces), so it would have implications on them.
In your face? More like fair game, as many would say.
Sometimes the results were genuinely funny.
Is this something anyone else has ever been into, or is this a unique thing for me to bring up?
