When I began doing this section I re-came across the "shamed by your english" advert and remembered that somewhere I had read a great parody of that somewhere, although I could not exactly remember where. It took a couple of days until I remembered the "1963" series and dug it out of its boxed-up home.

Having read a few Cracked magazines, a paperback sized compilation print of a similar title from the US called "Sick" and probably my body weight in American and Australian Mad magazines, I couldn't really be sure at first where this was.

Going through the series, I found that I had more and more of the source ads for the parody and most of these I had already scanned for the homage to the originals. Thus, the 1963 section was born.

My favourite line; "Plus, you how learn to emphasize big important words in eratic like manner, much like me!!!
