Funny Ads by Google
Recently spotted was an Text Ad on sponsoed listings of Google Search results. The Ad was from Futurebazar.com, with not a single character in english or any other language. All characters in title, description line 1 & 2 were in small box.

I really wonder how Google approved these Text Ads on their network.
The same Ads are found in Sify.com as well.
Another interesting thing is Google is able to index and spider content on Sponsored listings displayed through Adsense. This means that Google can read Javascript which is otherwise understood to be totally unreadable by Google’s robots..
