    Does Adwords allow "offensive" ads?

    Example:

    You are Stupid

    But that's okay, I can
    help. Read my guide!



    Has anyone tried this advertising method with Adwords?

    I was reading about this recently, i cant remember where, but thinking about this, theres a difference between grabbing attention and actually insulting a potential visitor.

    Something tells me that people are reading books or something telling them to be shocking, or ruthless in their promoting methods, but i think a lot of people misunderstand this.

    I think theres a fine line between confidence and arrogance and its actually very easy to upset a potential visitor/customer.

    Do at your own risk, i personally think that promoting this way is wrong.
