Sexy mom Angelina Jolie's posters for new movie, Wanted, were banned by the UK media watchdog for glamorizing guns and violence.
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) received 17 complaints from people who thought the advertising was irresponsible.
In one poster, Angelina Jolie was pictured crouching and holding a gun upward while the other poster has her lying on her back, guns brandished, on the back of a car. The ASA also said the ads were inappropriate for children.
Universal Pictures said the style of posters are a reflection of the film's origins — it's based on a comic book by Mark Miillar and J.G. Jones. The Hollywood studio argued that Angelina Jolie's posters were not put near schools, either."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."
