They would then have my physical mail location and could target junk mail that was relevant to me. If they can target adwords based upon my email content, they could easily send me relevant "junk mail" that is better than my current junk mail. I would not laugh at this one too much as this is something that we might very well see in the next 2-3 years. I could see direct marketers salivating. With google's push into traditional print advertising buys, this makes total sense... This part also makes some sense "Photo attachments are printed on high-quality, glossy photo paper". Hey, why wouldn't an advertiser have their logo printed on the photo: This picture print courtesy of Product X"? Not too terribly far fetched... When I saw this on sunday, i knew it was a joke when i saw this "For every Gmail Paper we produce, the environment gets incrementally healthier."... I was cracking up and could just see the tree huggers flipping out. Any way you look at it; it was great for a laugh.
