Customer’s revenge on Wicked Campers

AN ARTIST has taken matters into her own hands, spray-painting over a typically offensive slogan on a rented Wicked Campers’ van.

Stef Burgon started her campaign against the campervan company earlier this week, after she and her fiance rented a Wicked Camper to take a road trip from Adelaide to Perth.

Like many customers, they were less than impressed with the quality and cleanliness of the campervan and documented their review on Instagram.

But the newly-engaged couple found the slogans on the outside of the van more disgusting than the tattered curtains and dirty floors inside the van. They decided to repaint over the slogans and called on Twitter for ideas.

Ms Burgon then put her skills to use and spray-painted her own message over the degrading and sexually explicit Wicked Campers slogan. The photo, posted to Twitter and Instagram has already been shared by many anti-Wicked campaigners.

Wicked Campers has come under a considerable amount of fire in the last week, after a Sydney schoolteacher started a petition against the offensive slogans. Wicked has released a statement of apology and agreed to clean up its act and remove the sexist slogans from its vans.
