On the Daily Telegraph site the jerky footage of a bloodied Gaddafi being roughed up by his captors is preceded (sponsored) by an advertisement for a car.

I wonder what the British Board of Film Classification would think. Seems people are more worried about sex, bad language and fake violence than watching somebody die. Nissan probably has no idea that they are linked in this way.

I don't know how these thing work, but if I were in charge of Nissan's advertising I'd want to have someone keeping an eye on the news clips my product was being linked with.
