'Wanted' advert banned


A new advert for the Angelina Jolie film 'Wanted' has been banned as it is claimed it glamorises violence. It depicted Jolie firing a gun at a camera.

The advert also showed Jolie kissing her co-star.

The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) ruled the advert gave the overall impression "that using guns was sexy and glamorous" and breached the code for television. "We concluded the ad could be seen to condone violence by glorifying or glamorising the use of guns," its adjudication said.

Wow, what is the world coming to!!!!!
