Two weeks ago, Sam Pepper ignited a fire storm that still rages in the YouTube community. But who bought the fuel? Some advertisers are allowing their brands to associated with vile videos.

UPDATE (OCT. 7)
Apparently, YouTube Agrees. At least in principle.
A spokesperson from YouTube told New Media Rockstars:
"“We have strong guidelines regarding advertising on the site, and we may choose to stop placing ads against any video if we receive advertiser complaints or determine that the content of the video is inappropriate for our advertising partners.”
So far, I haven't seen any official confirmation from either YouTube or
from Sam Pepper that his channel has been dropped from the
partner program.
