I Hate Elvis Badge

I HATE ELVIS Elvis Presley’s manager sold “I Hate Elvis” badges as a way to make money off of people who weren’t buying his merchandise. SNEAK 100

A vintage button reads “I HATE ELVIS,” alongside a caption claiming that Elvis Presley’s manager sold the badges to profit from people who would not buy Elvis merchandise. The joke is the clever reverse-marketing tactic: even people expressing dislike were still financially supporting Elvis.
