(though this ad was specifically for bumper stickers, so, ...huh?) I wonder why Google won't tell us who complained. It seems like they don't want us to try to work it out. Which is silly, because less ads = less revenue for them... I guess all we can know for sure is that someone at some trademark-holder-company has a *truly* boring job that makes them a bit cranky!

Google can't confirm it - however from my own past experience and the current situation on Google... it's Perry Ellis, the parent company for "Original Penguin" that is the trademark holder of the word "penguin" - more specifically when applied to the use in conjunction with apparel (t-shirts). I also got the adwords boot - I emailed Google to explain that I've already had this argument through legal routes over the last 2 years. The reply I received from G was that the trademark holder/owner decides is they'll allow each instance or not. Glad you got it worked out... you can also use the word PENGUINS and it's not infringing. :D Happy penguin selling! I feel your pain.
