During the lifespan of the band, Crass blitzed London with stencil graffiti
containing messages such as, "FIGHT WAR NOT WARS."
The piece, "Who do they think they're fooling? You? Why should
we accept this sexist shit?" was sprayed directly onto ads that
were degrading to women.
The graffiti was motivated in an attempt to counteract the mental rape
inflicted by the advertisers.
Stencils were made to fit inside a paper carry bags which had the bottoms cut
out. This way, when a target advertisement was located, the stencil could be
sprayed with less risk for being caught.
From the walls of the streets, inevitabley to fashion shops,
the logo made its way onto fashion-punk shirts, like this one worn by old-school
hip hop artist, Junior.
