[On Speakers] People of Earth your attention please. This is Prostectic Vogon Jeltz of the Galactic Hyperspace Planet Council. As you no doubt will be aware, the plans for the development of the outlying regions of the western spiral arm of the galaxy require the building of a hyperspace express route through your star system and, regrettably, your planet is one of those scheduled for demolition. The process will take slightly less than two of your Earth minutes thank you very much.MANKIND:
[Yells of protest]VOGON CAPTAIN:
There’s no point in acting all surprised about it.

What do you mean you’ve never been to Alpha Centauri? Oh for heaven sake mankind it’s only four light years away you know! I’m sorry but if you can’t be bothered to take an interest in local affairs that’s your own regard. Energise the demolition beams! God I don’t know…apathetic bloody planet, I’ve no sympathy at all…

Given that the mean audience of these magazines were mid-adolescent males tending towards what later generations would call nerd-dom, a good marketing strategy.
Ah yes, the good old days when men were men and sheep were ...
ROFL. Hadn’t seen this one.
