Those Google Ads are look the way they do. cause they're made for a special target group. So that's just quit a good marketing idea (not new). If you want you could say thats also way to make people think Google is different, they're serious, they're cool and, and and, but they just want to sell, and harden theire market position. A quit subversive Way of separating people from there money. And maybe in some cases textbased ads could be missunderstood as a part of the website. I think Google wants to put there ads on Debian to get some kind of 'big clean okay' for there way of doing commercials from another major open source project. Many people will think: Well, if that's okay for debian.org, it will be okay for many others, sooner or later. Not only debian.org will be affected by a decision.
