"One of our engineers tripped and fell on the keyboard and accidentally coded an entire ad delivery system then accidentally shipped it."
The only way I could imagine this being an accident was if they'd already built the ad system and then decided not to use it because they had a burst of common sense at the last possible minute, then later on they accidentally shipped the wrong version in an update.
