Game given pre-watershed ad ban

Grand_theft_auto_san_andreas_kick_ass_vi

Adverts for a violent computer game have been banned from being shown on television before the watershed in the wake of complaints from viewers.

The 18-rated game, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, has been criticised in the past for its violent content. The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) was asked to investigate after receiving eight complaints about two adverts featuring game extracts.

They were shown before 2100 GMT when children could have been watching.

One advert was described by the ASA as showing "general scenes of violence and the use of guns" while the other showed the spraying of graffiti and "use of guns in drive-by shootings"

  • John Harrigan: Cirxus

    John Harrigan: Cirxus



    1957- Seascale, the North of England. Cirxus; an old English circus lost in the shadows of the smoke stacks of Calder Hall, the world's first commercial nuclear power station.

    Athalia the ballerina waits in the ring for Loudon the clown to return with directions to the Black Pool, the mythic site of the Home Sweet Home, the final show of the season. Join her as she begins a bizarre and wondrous search for Loudon through the irradiated secrets of Cirxus, where she must face the macabre atomic menagerie, haunted by circus animals and navigate her way through the maze of strange, hallucinogenic sideshows to the other side of time.

    Cirxus defies genre and form and offers a literary experience like no other. A combination of hallucinogenic novel and blueprint to a physical experience.

  • John Harrigan: Dead Language

    John Harrigan: Dead Language


    A rowdy gang of Tracey Emins wrestle half a dozen dazed Andy Warhols to the ground. IT IS THE FUTURE AND ALL FORMS OF ART ARE FREE. Perfect replicas exist of every masterpiece ever created, artworks and ideas are stolen from the mind before they’re even created.

    Copyright or ownership is meaningless. FLESH-WORTH is all that matters. Arm yourself with weaponised art and explore the notions of open-source myth. What are intellectual rights worth in a decomposing culture?

    Featuring full archival material from FoolishPeople’s performance run of Dead Language at the Institute of Contemporary Arts.
