The U.K.’s advertising regulator has banned an advert for computer game Duke Nukem Forever until after 11 p.m.
The Advertising Standards Authority says it received 34 complaints for the ad, which features thong-clad strippers and schoolgirls about to kiss. Viewers complained that the ad was sexist and violent, and contained overly explicit images likely to “cause children and vulnerable people harm,” according to the ASA report.
The spot was originally broadcast after 9 p.m. in June.
