Bloody t-shirt ad shows up tied to Newtown shooting story
http://j.mp/TvSTeI (Paid Content)
"A Fox news story about the Newtown tragedy came with an ad for a
bloody t-shirt while Facebook showed an ad for a shooting game. In the
past, editors could have screened these ads - this is less possible
online where fewer humans are involved in the ad-buying process."

This would not seem to be the fault of FOX, nor of Google. But, it is
reasonable perhaps to be thinking about whether ads like this make
sense in general audience circulation ad pools in the first place.
