BBC News with extra adverts

[glittertigger]

The BBC has "improved" its news homepage. The main difference I can see is more ads. Apparently this is because I am an international user (that Paris IP address again) and in their editor's words they "wanted to do a better job of incorporating them into the page design". As far as I can tell this means they have made them harder to block. Gah.

Gosh, I didn't know the BBC did adverts for foreigners. That's evil.

I just tried it by connecting via SLAC (California) VPN and an advert appeared. So it does look like it's based on IP address.
