I think it's clever...no-one can use that as a joke if it's already been used in the campaign. And I also think it's good to use a bit of humour in the campaign.

That's a fair point, but you musy conceede that in terrace atmospheres, mob mentality and peer group pressure make a volotile combination that a lot of men acceede to, rather than be seen to stand up in defiance.
Simply not joining in is not the same as opposing is it?
