Star Tripping

Angelina Jolie has always been a great addition as far as movies and ads are concerned but apparently her latest ad that takes its theme from her last movie “Wanted” did not sit well with the Brits as they had the posters which were pushing for guns and crime taken out.

While the poster had obviously wanted to pick off from what her action-packed film was preaching, it was exposed to the wrong crowd. While Jolie is admittedly a star wherever she goes, there are instances where not all people may kneel down and praise her for her beauty and glamour. One such territory is Great Britain.

“We acknowledged most viewers would understand the posters reflected the content of an action film,” the ASA said in a statement. “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 glamorize the use of guns and violence.”
