Sara cox advert

Is anyone else getting an ad pop up featuring pictures of Sara Cox with a bruised face? I'm sure it's fake but it distasteful at best. I'm not clicking on it.

Surely mn should be monitoring who they let advertise?

I hope this link works, it’s where you can report the ad to Google for breaking its policies.

No idea but I see she’s got a book out now. Are all authors just being pushed off the bookshelves for celebrities now? There’s no end to their greed.

I thought this yesterday! Ghost writers must be doing a good trade though, all these stories to write so a famous person can stick their own name on it and pretend they did the work.

I’ve reported the advert to google.
I don’t see SC but others- I am not in the UK. It is a US company who is running these ads. Horrible.

I thought that was just me!

Me too, also Jeremy Clarkson with bruised face!

Wtf yes I just noticed this and now, opening this thread, I get shown two different pictures. So three different images of a bruised SC in total so far .Really fucking weird and grim. And totally inappropriate for this site. Could be so triggering for some women. If I report your post op, MNHQ might take a look at what is going on?

I just blocked it on another website! It takes you to a site that’s trying to pass itself off as BBC News. But no longer have the ad to report it to Google (which served it on the other site)
