Martin Adamek, the author of apddroid, a tool that allows you to quickly change the apn on android devices, got his app removed from the Android Market by Google.

How? He added Push Ads from AirPush which sends an Ad once a day to the phone owner – using push messages that don’t seem to come from any specific app on first view.

Of course this is highly annoying for the users, they get alerts on their mobile devices that look like they might be important but then find out it’s an advertisment. Since this frustrated users, the app got reported to Google who then took it out of the Market.
