conflict of interest?
I was watching television the other day and this new advertisement for UPS came on with this guy drawing a diagram on a whiteboard about how UPS can ship packages from China to the United States and blah blah blah...the real reason I bring this up is because in the background I heard a sample of "Such Great Heights" from the group The Postal Service and found it strangly ironic that a band by that name would be sampled for a UPS ad. Isn't that a conflict of interest?
If you dont know the ad yet, I've included a link to the website, click on TV Spots

I'm glad to see that I wasn't the only one who caught this.

The bands agreement with the USPS has only got to complicate the matters more. I wonder how quickly the ad will be pulled or changed. You'de think that for a company that is investing $35 million dollars into this ad campaign they would've caught this before putting it on the air but I guess thats why they get paid the big bucks and we dont.
