Posters for Wanted have been banned in the U.K. because some hippies complained that they glamorize gun violence.

One poster featured a gun-toting Jolie lying across the bonnet of a car and a bullet curving towards the audience. It carried the strapline [Wha?]: “This is your destiny. Join us.”

Another showed McAvoy with a gun in each hand, pointing towards the viewer. The accompanying slogan implied that his life had changed for the better since he became a killer.

Bonnet = something that gay babies wear.  Hood = something that protects the clitoris.  Winner: USA.

In its adjudication, the industry watchdog ruled: “We acknowledged most viewers would understand the posters reflected the content of an action film. However, 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 glamorise the use of guns and violence. We concluded [they] could be seen to condone violence by glorifying or glamorising the use of guns. [Telegraph]

Guess what: a gun is an explosion that you can hold in your hand.  You aim it at stuff, and then that stuff explodes.  What could be more awesome than that?  It’s self-glamorizing.  Look, I’m a bleeding-heart liberal by many measures, but if you’re gonna be one of those moms who won’t let her son play with toy guns or G.I. Joes, you might as well give him a dildo instead.
