My mother brought a photocopy of this home for me from community college back in ... Probably around 1996 or sixth grade.

It was illuminating. I think one of her long-term goals was to inoculate me against advertising. I guess she more or less succeeded.

I know you said "more or less" and I know I'm nitpicking - but the only way to actually inoculate against advertising is to be dead :)
