Where did you hear that?
Yes, interesting question :)
FWIW in 2006 I found that Google advertises that using their own system
It' still there, refresh you browser until you can see one of their Smalltalk ads like this one
Smalltalk at Google? Dig SmallTalk & object oriented design? Get a Java XP job at Google www.google.com/jobs/
Ah great.
Heh, interestingly "One Laptop per Child" is one of the sponsored ads when you google for "Smalltalk" but not for "Python".
Yes, this is quite tricky with the AdWords system. I stumbled upon Google's Smalltalk ad when I attempted to donate some money for advertising the Squeak Smalltalk keywords with the AdWords system.
Unfortunately I had to give up coming into the ranks when "suddenly" "somebody" put in bids for the Smalltalk keyword with a US$ 4 price-per-click tag on them (reminds me to check the current bids once in a while).
I can only speculate that price tag has something to do with what you observed for Python+OLPC.
