Yeah, I think that they are more focused on the gullible-people market 
sector. :)

Next they'll be saying that they inherited a frooglepoopillion dollars.  
For reference on a frooglepoopillion, please see the dilbert cartoons for 
June 23 and 28:

Or else, next time they will offer you a recipriversexclusion dollars.  
For information on recipriversexclusion, please refer to the Hitchhikers' 
Guide to the Galaxy, under the topic of Bistromatics:

   Bistromathics is a revolutionary new way of understanding 
   the behavior of numbers. Just as Einstein observed that time dependeds 
   on the observer's movement in space, so it is realized now that numbers 
   are not absolute, but depend on the observer's movement in 
   restaurants.
   ...
   The second nonabsolute number is the given time of arrival, which is 
   now known to be one of those most bizarre of mathematical concepts, a 
   recipriversexclusion, a number whose existence can only be defined as 
   being anything other than itself.

Cheers.
