Call of Duty ad banned by UK regulator after investigation determined it "trivialised sexual violence"

Banned: UK regulator has pulled a Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 ad after ruling it “trivialised sexual violence.” The ASA upheld 9 of 11 complaints (two drug‑use complaints not upheld), saying the humour relied on implied non‑consensual penetration. Activision called it parody; ASA ordered the spot off air.
