* British video game publisher Firebird released in April 1985 a compilation for the UsefulNotes/ZXSpectrum called ''Don't Buy This: Five of the Worst Games Ever'', featuring five otherwise-rejected games for the Spectrum that had been submitted to Firebird. Such was their contempt for the product that they actually ''encouraged'' users to copy or pirate ''Don't Buy This''.

* Stephen Elop's [[https://www.engadget.com/2011/02/08/nokia-ceo-stephen-elop-rallies-troops-in-brutally-honest-burnin/ "Burning Platform" memo]] wrecked Nokia much like Ratner's fiasco, but far worse. He painted UsefulNotes/{{Symbian}} (their immensely popular bread-and-butter) as hopelessly outdated, upcoming [=MeeGo=] as vaporware that would not be finished on time, and the whole company as lost against more agile rivals. It is speculated that Elop was a Microsoft trojan, and the memo's real purpose was to force a move to Windows Phone. Well, it did... but also caused Symbian's sales to crash almost overnight, and angered mobile carriers heavily invested on Nokia's ecosystem. When their WP-based devices finally came out (''after'' their only [=MeeGo=] device), sales were dismal, as their old customer base had moved on to Android and iOS by then.

* During the UsefulNotes/ColdWar, several Eastern European resistance groups used this in the 60's to avoid government censorship. Instead of releasing propaganda directly, they distributed newspapers describing the treasonous publications their fine leaders had put down, refuted, or nipped in the bud. [[CouldSayItBut Those subversive publications were described in excruciating detail.]]
