I've been occasionally fascinated that newspapers don't have a flag in their CMSs for articles that are crass to plaster with ads.

The New York Times seems to do this:

If a story is marked as sensitive, an option is set and ads aren't shown on it.

The Guardian has this too. And I've done this on a few sites I've worked with as well.

We developed that flag after the incident I referred too.
