UK Bans Angelina Jolie "Wanted" Movie Posters
In the UK, it is not PC to show a gun - and therefore to get you in line they'll censor your art, etc.
From Reuters:
Jolie posters not "Wanted" in UK, watchdog rules
LONDON (Reuters) - Angelina Jolie might ooze Hollywood glamour, but if she's armed and looking dangerous, the actress is not welcome in Britain.
Britain's media watchdog, the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA), has banned two posters of Jolie promoting the film "Wanted" after upholding complaints that the images of the gun-toting actress glamorized the use of guns and violence.
While I'll agree that I think there are far too many movies glamorizing violence and gun play, I don't think that sweeping anything under the rug by banning it is good sense.
