Billboard Utilising Graffitists Against Unhealthy Promotions

Billboard Utilising Graffitists Against Unhealthy Promotions, or B.U.G.A.U.P. (alternatively, BUGA-UP or BUGA UP) is an Australian subvertising artistic movement that plays on the phrase "bugger up". It practices billboard hijacking using détournement or modification with graffiti of billboard advertising that promote things that are deemed unhealthy. At the time of its formation, smoking in Australia was common and increasing in popularity, since cigarette advertising was largely unregulated, leading to popular campaigns such as Paul Hogan's Winfield ad series.¶
