That advert isn't b& they have just put restrictions on when it can be shown. As its an 18 rated game I don't see the problem.
This is the second time that you've posted it's only a retriction on WHEN it can be shown.
Please read this portion:
?We considered the ad was likely to be seen as encouraging and condoning violence. Because the issues raised by the ad could not be addressed with a timing restriction, we considered the only solution was to withdraw the ad from transmission completely.?
Reading comprehension FTW!

Well as the original complaint was that it was before the watershed
and I am fairly drunk I shall let myself off.
Still dont see the difference between US and UK though.
The UK, similar to many other European countries, routinely bans movies, games, etc. Not restrict, but outright ban. Games cannot be sold if they don't pass the censors. Movies cannot be shown.
The government controls culture there. The people do not.
