Outrage after offensive adverts are spotted in video games played by CHILDREN
Parents are outraged after their children were forced to view offensive ads as they played what they thought were harmless puzzle game apps. The ads were promoting products for e-commerce platform Wish.com on popular game apps like Crazy Cake Swap and 2040. One bizarre ad shows a penis extender strap, while another displays a woman with an unzipped cat suit where her butt is partially exposed. UK ad watchdog Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has reprimanded US e-commerce site Wish.com UK ad watchdog Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has contacted Wish.com about the ads, but the firm has yet to respond or remove the ads.
