UK Ad Watchdog Bans CoD Ad Over Sexual Violence Joke
Britain’s ASA ruled Activision’s live-action Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 ad trivialized sexual violence by showing Replacers humiliating a passenger at airport security and joking about non-consensual acts; it must be edited before it can air again in the UK, while Activision argues the ad targets adults and the clip is still available on YouTube.
