In Google's defense, their ad words are functioning something like an AOL message board, or a free host site, or any other unmoderated internet thing. They don't filter any of them, then they respond to complaints to fix problems.
If anyone is going to go to jail it would be the owner of the site, not Google.
Lensman doesn't screen every post on GFY, and someone could easily post a child porn advert here, and it would take him a few minutes or even hours to remove it.
That's the way the web is. I'm not saying it's right or wrong, I'm saying the law recognizes it and that's the way it is.
Google should probably consider screening certain words as a start and also consider using the same technology as TGP's, which scan the TGP pages themselves for banned words as well. Their system is new and they are still refining it. I think it's great we all emailed them about this, and they fixed it.
Google rocks!
