ethical meta tag?

A potential client want me to redesign their site. While talking with him he said he wants to list all his competitors in his meta tags. This sounds odd or even unethical.

It would be a stupid marketing move if nothing else. Why tell potential clients where else they can get the same service or product?

Weelll… are his visitors really so dumb that they won’t be able to
tell the difference? Anyway, I don’t think it’ll make any difference
to searching if those names aren’t anywhere else in the page.
