Came here to confirm this was a big change in AdWords... sure enough the rest of you got it too I see. Very strange. I didn't expect them to be like that. So even Google is getting really tough.
It's been like that for while. Even if your site doesn't promote teens they don't allow any implication that model is underage. Just using the words young or girl are enough for them to knock you back. I refered to a model who was clearly late twenties as a "young lady" and got the "teen porn concepts" BS from them. I decided to remove all the instances of these words as it wasn't a teen site anyway and emailed them, then they re-evaluated it and let the ads run.
