Wikipedia for anit-advertising

Is anti-advertising a word.
A quick search on google, indicates that I am at the least, not an inventor of this term.
The page didn't make much sense to me, but there's a start.

So, the thought process started by a look at the 'Did you know' section on Wikipedia (English).
The article headline went "... that Grambling State running back Walter Dean was nicknamed "American Express" in reference to the credit card company?"
Not sure, what this exactly meant, but how about an article with headline ".... that Rajiv Gandhi, father of Rahul Gandhi, was accused of fraud, while being the then Prime Minister, in the Bofor's case."
Imagine the above article in the Wikipedia's 'Did you know' section, 20 years from now, when Rahul Gandhi has already served his 3rd term as the Prime Minister. That would be really cheeeeezzyyy.
From a 30000 feet view, the jargon that I hate most, this might look downright cynical (given that Rahul Gandhi turns out to be a good leader) and very bithyish (is that a word?) .
However, as the first link in this post says, this can act as the medium for consumers getting back at Corporates, who love to cheat consumers through 'advertising'.
So imagine now an article that goes "....every 3rd of Dell's packaged laptops has a harddrive crash within first year of operation". You know where I am going?
