Yet more stupidity from the ASA

[Azagoth]

Now they've decided that an advert for the film 'Wanted' is somehow glamourising violence.

One complaint from a member of the public was received by the ASA.

Just one complaint? How pathetic!

didn't wanted come out like, 6 months ago?

Yeah, something like that and it's taken them this long to act upon just one complaint.

What I find to be truly pathetic about it is that they banned something on the basis of just one complaint. Not 100, 400 or even 1000 but just a single, solitary complaint. The mind just boggles at whomever is so sad that they felt the need to phone or write in about a bloody advert for an 18 certificate film.
