Oh wow I can’t wait for the “one off” ways people find to abuse how Google presents this creative for products. “Yes! You can use an ACME shovel to bury a dead body!” I’m sure bran…

My wife is in grad school at a major university and is dealing with this right now the week of midterms for spring quarter. I totally understand why a university wouldn’t want to b…
