Why would you need a Turing-complete language to describe advertisements? Why can't they be static images? Or static HTMLs?

From the advertiser's perspective, it wouldn't be a Turing-complete language, since they would only have access to standardized templates. Such a system would probably have to be implemented in Javascript at the browser level though, unless you could do it all with CSS animations.
