Sorry to say this John but I don't think Max has a lot of choice about what is put up.
He does up to a point. The Adsense website says:

* Cosmetic procedures and surgery: Includes lifts, suctions, lasers, hair removal and restoration, tattoos and body modification.
* Dating: Includes dating services and online dating communities.

* Get rich quick: Schemes promising fast earning.
* Politics: Includes politics or controversial social issues; does not include ads for news organisations that are not generally associated with a partisan viewpoint on issues.
* Religion: Includes religious ads and ads advocating for or against religious views; does not include astrology or non-denominational spirituality.
* Ringtones and downloadables: Mobile add-ons including ringtones and other downloadable goodies such as screensavers and wallpapers for desktop PCs and profile layouts and graphics for social networks.
* Sexual and reproductive health: Includes sexual function and fertility ads; does not include normal pregnancy resources.
