According to Google, this type of layouts annoys the users and thus the web search company will be penalizing those websites through search results. The company disclosed this on its blog. According to Google over the top ads is not good for user experience and thus such websites might not get high ranking on Google web search."

No the next step is for Google to decide to "punish websites" that contain content google does not approve of. Like infowars.com or foxnews.com or ronpaul2012.com, by giving them lower rankings.
I'd really prefer that google Not be ranking websites because of content.
IMHO
