Call of Duty advert banned for trivialising sexual violence

An advert for a Call of Duty game has been banned by the UK's advertising regulator for trivialising sexual violence. The commercial for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 featured fake officers at an airport security check - as the real ones were too busy playing the game. Viewers complained the video, which included a man being told to strip down while an officer put on gloves and said "time for the puppet show", was "irresponsible and offensive".
