Its advertising the blog of the day *The Mumsnet Shouting Bra


It is way too small and it just annoys me that this picture was chosen above countless others that might have been chosen that show a well fitted bra.

Also its a horrible colour and design . Shock

I hoped that they had designed and were marketing the perfect bra. Alas, no...

It does look a bit cramped.

The ad under discussions of the day 'A new canal side village'...I've read it twice now as 'A new cannabis side village' Grin

Yes, the first time I saw it I thought "that doesn't fit very well, she probably got fitted at M&S needs to go to Style and Beauty for a bra intervention".

Maybe they thought all the pictures of a well fitted bra were too alluring?

YANBU, it is making me feel uncomfortable just looking at it.

Yes Witch I thought that too. But then again a picture of just a bra would work just as well as an illustration of the blog title.

I hate catching sight of it .It makes me feel squished and annoyed at the same time.

YY. It looks as if she's been squashed into an ill fitting Doreen bra.

She must have bloody horrendous backache.

YANBU.

How the interventionist have managed to stop themselves ranting on here I do not know.

I hadn't really noticed before but now you mention it, ow! She looks so squashed. I'd be shouty too!

It definitely offends this interventionist, and I would put money on Sorrel having yelled at the screen at least once :)

It's a terrible picture.

Am glad it is not just me! It actually inspired me to tighten my (intervened) bra a notch, to ensure I no longer looked like that.

Gawd I used to have to sell those sodding Triumph Doreens when I worked retail. Hideously vile things. Burn them all!

I've never bothered looking at the 'blog of the day' but I clicked on that one to be nosey as I wasn't at all sure what a shouting bra was supposed to be anyway. I'm still none the wiser except for being reassured my decision to not look at the blogs was the right one.

And yes, I agree, the bra couldn't be more hideous if it tried, and that's speaking as someone who is large of nork and hates underwires so does tend towards the more 'robust' type of bra. Even I wouldn't wear that.

Whenever I click on "blog of the day" the post doesn't show up, just a lot of other ones. Stupid.

YANBU it is one of the worst fitted bras I have ever seen, to the point I thought the blog would be about proper bra fitting.

Seriously irritating.

Glad I'm not the only one - I find that picture actually kind of stomach churning and have to try to cover it with my hand so I don't see it. Not quite sure why it bothers me but i think for me it goes beyond the br not fitting. Hope it goes away soon as its really annoying!
