Two posters for the 2008 film Wanted, starring Angelina Jolie, have been banned by Britain’s Advertising Standards Authority.

After the public interest group recieved seventeen complaints from citizens that were taken aback by the promotional posters featuring a gun-toting Angie, the authority claims the ads glamorize gun violence.

“We considered, that because the ads featured a glamorous actress, action poses, several images of or related to guns and aspirational text, they could be seen to glamorize the use of guns and violence.”
