The other AdSense AdShoe finally dropped today. At 2:33AM, the heavy handed meatheads over there shut me down for good. Here is the email detailing how those chickenshits did it:

Hello,

While going through our records recently, we found that your AdSense account has posed a significant risk to our AdWords advertisers. Since keeping your account in our publisher network may financially damage our advertisers in the future, we’ve decided to disable your account.

Please understand that we consider this a necessary step to protect the interests of both our advertisers and our other AdSense publishers. We realize the inconvenience this may cause you, and we thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation.

Sincerely,

The Google AdSense Team

So, that’s it. Their terms of service state that they’ll take all the money in my account and give it back to the advertisers who were so grieviously harmed financially by my actions.

Am I surprised? No, not really. Do I care? No, except for the fact that ‘a significant risk’ was posed by my blog! A significant risk? Please shut the fuck up. The only significant risk to the blog was losing readers that hate advertising as much as I do. A significant risk? At five cents a click? This is so stupid that it’s actually funny, until you realize that these AdSense AsSwipes can do this to anyone that has AdSense on their blog at any time, and once they’ve made a decision, they don’t have to pay you for allowing stupid Menstrual Stem Cell ads to appear. But since Google also owns Blogger, and I don’t want to get shut down entirely, I’ll just move on.

Lesson learned. Advertising sucks. Adsense sucks. Google sucks too.
