A friend of mine tried to place an ad to promote a FB app, and got the following rejection notice:
* The text of this ad contains excessive or incorrect capitalization. All ads must use appropriate, grammatically correct capitalization. The title of your ad, as well as the first word in each sentence, must begin with a capital letter. Lastly, all proper nouns and acronyms should be capitalized. As per section 4 of Facebook's Advertising Guidelines, all ads should include standard and proper capitalization.
* The text of this ad does not contain proper sentence structure or correct spacing. As per section 4 of Facebook's Advertising Guidelines, all ad text must be in logical sentence form and contain grammatically correct spacing."
WOOT!

ANOTHER Facebook ad rejected:
If you hadn't heard the term "MILF" before you heard of Sarah Palin, you started hearing it when she stepped-onto the national stage. Tina Fey used it in her Saturday Night Live impression.
Now, online marketing options like pay-per-click ads and just-in-time T-shirt vendor Cafepress.com enable canny trend-watchers to jump-in-front-of-a-parade. But even largely-automated E-commerce still has Message Police.
Recently -- as news broke that Governor Palin had become a grandmother -- one opportunistic entrepreneur quickly designed a T-shirt featuring a photo of her VP-debate wink, headlined by the letters "GILF" (http://cafepress.com/ListenToAmerica).
Facebook disapproved the pay-per-click ad, which featured a photo of Palin's VP debate wink, headlined "GILF."
