Bidding on Trademarked Terms Alternatives

    So let's say I would like to sell Nike shoes, or Staples Desk, or Snaple drink.
    My Problem is I can't bid on the trademark terms and I can't use the trademarked terms in my ads because the larger SE PPC programs simply won't allow it.

    Has anyone run in to this?

    Any ideas are be appreciated.

    I've rammed a number of trademarks thru YSM. They shouldn't have approved them, but they did. Editors asleep at their desks... And then just yesterday, I got a few past AdWords. I'm not sure why sometimes they go thru, and sometimes not. Might be because my trademarks were not as huge as Nike/Snapple, etc. and weren't on their "ban" list or whatever they have.
