Look what I just got in the mail

....A Zango related press release? Why is some press agency sending me a.....no, never mind. My brain is already hurting. Let's see what it says:

"Hello,

Wanted to alert you to a new advertising format available from online media company Zango. Similar to an instant messaging (IM) notification, the new desktop advertising vehicle slides targeted, time-shifted ads ("slider ads") onto the user's desktop from the lower right-hand corner of the screen. Through this new format, Zango expands beyond its traditional toolbar and pop-up-style ad deliveries, giving thousands of advertisers yet another mechanism by which to reach consumers precisely when and where they are most likely to make a purchase.

Please let me know if you have any questions or want to learn more - I'd be happy to set up a briefing with (some dude), Zango's Senior Vice President of Sales."

......um.

Let me get this right......you decided to send a press release to me......Paperghost......known for my enthusiastic response to all things Zango.....who happens to work for an Instant Messaging Security Company.....to tell me about how awesome Zango's new adverts....that look like Instant Messaging Notifications......will be?

There is something faulty in the logic employed above. See if you can spot it.
