I don't think that the advertisement itself is the issue, but rather the medium chosen for it.
Speaking for myself, I expect /etc/motd to contain information deemed relevant to me by the responsible sysadmin. I feel like this is the hi-jacking of a well-established communications channel, for ads no less.
