He could have still let the ad run if he thought the app would be approved sooner or later. Its hilarious that on Clark's websites he advertises he "Holds Development Licenses for Apple", he left out it may take a year for the app to be approved.
You say "he cant do anything until the APPLE APP is released", yet you think he made to a good choice telling about an ad that was dependent on the app being released. Is that correct?
