i know this is rather pathetic and precious of me

[PetulaGordino]

but is there any way to get rid of the witches' fingers cover image on that video for hallowe'en treats on the desktop site?

i know they are supposed to look horrible, but really they are extremely off-putting and making me feel rather ill. and i am not generally a squeamish person! so i have to scroll down past the video v quickly and try not to spend too long on the posts next to it

or should i just get over myself and stick to the mobile site until hallowe'en is over?

I know what you mean I had to squint and change pages asap. I HATE Halloween crud like that, makes me barf.

[Naoko]

Oh god I know exactly what you mean, I'm not squeamish at all but those are squicking me right out.

[TheBoysMamma]

Me too! I was thinking of posting with the same request but then saw your post. Glad it's not just me

[CatWitch]

I thought I was the only one! I adore Halloween but something about that picture really bothers me..

[ChippingInLatteLover]

I didn't know what you were talking about - but I've just seen them

Stop being such silly billies!!!

They are really cool - might even have to make some to take into school!

[Naoko]

Well courtesy of adding the element to my adblocker I'm now blissfully witches-finger-free, and I do feel a bit silly, but it isn't really. If it was a picture of a huge hairy spider or one of those weird toads with holes all over their back we'd have a huge thread in here full of people complaining because it makes them come over all funny, and those things don't squick me out at all. This does, can I not say so :(

[Bifauxnen]

They're great! Keep meaning to click on it, will do it now before you spoilsports get it removed.

[MrsCakesPrecognition]

Thanks for the adblocker tip - I've just managed to hide the fingers.

[TsukuruTazaki]

Completely agree with you

[PetulaGordino]

Ah my adblocker doesn't get rid of them. Happily I'm on the mobile site now

[EmilyGilmore]

I agree. Too gross. I've never really understood why dismembered body parts are funny in this context yet horrifying in others.... What next, severed heads made from apples?

Get rid.

[PetulaGordino]

Oh no I actually get why it's funny and I think it's v clever. People honk up some amazing themed food ideas

I just don't want to see this one every day until hallowe'en

Tbh I don't really expect MNHQ to change this - I just wanted a moan about it. They can just gently tell me to get over it

[PetulaGordino]

People think up

I don't want to know what honking up is

[BettyMoody]

I hate them too. Was going to start same thread

At least they aren't as scary as getting one of these !

[fairgame]

They remind me a little bit of that episode of friends where Joey tries to make a foreskin out of a food

[PetulaGordino]

oh amy, that's a little hurtful

Thanks for your feedback. Sorry you don't like it
Would you mind now just getting over it?

[PetulaGordino]

Oh all right then

Prepare for some very strongly worded opinions about Ruth and David's contingency plans now that I have to find an outlet for my frustration. Shall I aim to be the first ever recipient of an on an Archers thread?

[wantacatplease]

They make me want some toasted pumpkin seeds. I think that's what the fingernails are, anyway.

[PetulaGordino]

i thought they were slivered almonds. but i'm avoiding looking too closely tbh

[TheLostPelvicFloorOfPoosh]

If you click on the playlist bit, you can change it to trolls' teeth instead. No more yikesy fingers. Probably doesn't last when you change pages though

[KillmeNow]

I thought I was the only one too. I don't know what it is about that particular still but it gives me the shivers .And i can see the cleverness of the design and might even attempt them myself .

But thanks to PP who reminded me about the ad blocker. Phew. All I had to do was click and it was gone. What a relief.
