Angelina Jolie Accused Of Glamourising Gun Crime

'Wanted' posters banned..

Wednesday 03rd Sep 2008

Posters advertising Angelina Jolie’s latest flick Wanted have been banned for allegedly glamourising gun crime.

The violent pictures that promote this summer’s action thriller show the Hollywood beauty lying provocatively on a car bonnet with a gun in hand.
 
Britain's Advertising Standards Authority has banned the adverts after receiving a number of complaints about the images.

A statement from the organisation reads:

"We concluded (they) could be seen to condone violence by glorifying or glamorising the use of guns."

Angelina was recently mocked by funny-woman Roseanne for making ‘evil psychopathic movies’ and for putting on a show about her so-called charity efforts.

  • Roseanne's a twit. But she does have a new show in Las Vegas, so she chose a surefire way to get back into the news and get free publicity. Before this idiot move of hers, I hadn't heard of her for years. Joan Rivers is the same. Her career has spiraled down for years, so she pulled a 'Roseanne.' I guess she has to earn money to pay for her continuous plastic surgeries.

  • http://thebigbadfilmreview.blogspot.com/2008/08/hancock-2008-and-wanted-2008.html The truth is now clear to all and sundry that the film companies must be bankrolled by the arms manufacturers who fund these hour or so long adverts for their wares. In the same way that we witness one senseless murder after another, so the making of these films only serve their designed purpose. i.e, exporting violence, murder and gun crime to all corners of the planet.
