Unique way to draw clicks. But is it legal???

Hi all,
I have heard time and time again from PPC companies: do not ask your visitors to click on the ads!
However, I was surfing the net and ran across a banner ad from Adult Swim. It looks like this:

Honestly…seeing the words "BABY NEEDS A PROM DRESS" in that border around the banner COMPELS me to click click click!
I am wondering: would this work? Or would Google Adsense pick up on this and shut you down?
Since it is an image (and not text), I guess there’s less of a chance that google would find it?
Thanks!
