I agree that morphing on the fly is kind of a silly way to do things. A couple of thoughts:
1) You're constantly changing the text, by the time Google-bot grabs it and indexes it, it's already changed. I had a conversation with them at the AdTech conference in NYC regarding this, and they said they're planning to specifically penalize sites that work this way -- that's why we haven't done it "on the fly" in Autoblogger Pro. We don't want to harm our user base, and we take the time to investigate features before putting them out willy-nilly.
2) Sponsors morphing "on the fly" using WordPress is a little ... I dunno, cobbled together with super glue and bubble gum, wouldn't you say? I personally wouldn't pull those feeds. That's why we created Feed Pushers. Now that Reality Cash and other sponsors have begun to use it, Feed Pushers is ideally paired with a tool like Autoblogger Pro to provide "once-morphed" feeds and then post them out. If you need a specific sponsor to have Feed Pushers feeds, drop them and myself an ICQ, and we'll work something out.

Great idea. To me, nothing beats a hand-written morph akin to Feed Pushers. It makes sense every time you read it, and Google eats it up (look at the results on pages 1 and 2 for the feeds affiliates have already pulled).
ICQ me if you want to collaborate on something along these lines. I'd be happy to work with the existing ABP code-base to accommodate better morphing integration, and I can already see from our previous ICQ conversations that your ideas will be valuable in this area. And you understand English -- big plus!
