Marketing nitwits

When I sometimes see an out-of-place error in a marketing piece, I look a little farther to see how many more problems they have. This one is a beauty...

I got a spam email from a exhibit design company regarding a trade show for next March. At the end of a mediocre email, was this privacy clause:

This e-mail is the property of XX Exhibits & Displays. It is intended only for the individual to which it is addressed and contains information that is privileged, confidential, or otherwise protected from disclosure. Distribution or copying of this e-mail, or the information contained herein, by anyone other than the intended is prohibited. If you receive this e-mail in error, please notify the sender by e-mail at X.com or phone XXX. Please delete and destroy any copies of this e-mail. Emphasis mine.

So I went to their website and got two 475K pictures (resized via FrontPage, but not reduced in file size) and a message that their site was under construction. Dumb, dumb, dumb!
