AdWords Garbage Ad

Saw this ad and thought it was a test that AdWords was running. No, it's just a gimmicky garbage ad that a big testing company is running. Apparently the bigger advertiser you are, the more Google lets you break their own rules.

I have seen this garbage ad before if I remember correctly. Just wondering how Google's editorial review process works.

 

this is an illegal ad to run? why is that?

 

Many things wrong with it, but here's one from the guidelines:

--Avoid gimmicky repetition.

For the most part every new ad is checked by a Google human. But it typically happens a couple of days after the ad is created. Therefore it is very easy to create an ad like this, run it for a day, and then delete it.
