Brickbat: Banned in Britain

The British Advertising Standards Authority has banned a prison job ad by the Ministry of Justice because it shows a white guard and a black inmate, saying the ad promotes racial stereotypes. The ministry said that because the ad features an actual guard and prisoner it doesn't promote any stereotypes but reflects a realistic interaction that could happen in a prison.
