Default Adverts on BBC News Website

Since when has the BBC started placing ads on its news website, see here - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/

Does that mean i get a partial refund on my tv licence

Hopefully everyone else can see the ad, if not it means i have been hacked or something.

The BBC have always run ads for people accessing the site from outside of the UK. Are you outside of the UK or possibbly accessing via a proxy server outside of the UK?
