Targetted or not, I wouldn't take any notice.
Very occasionally the ads placed next to (and semi-targetted at) an email that I'm reading in Gmail are both accurate and useful but I'd agree that generally targetted ads would pass me by.
Not least because I don't see most of them (thank you, Adblock!). About the only ads I routinely see are on websites which I deliberately "permit" to show them to me, like CableForum.
