A cock wrapped in bacon?

I am not sure how Mumsnet choose which advertisements to display, or whether they are targeted in any way.
I am at a loss to see why this one was chosen for me.
I accept that these are toys/ models but seriously a cock wrapped in bacon?
I am not a prude, vegan, and nor do I have any religious beliefs regarding pork, but I would have thought there was a reasonable chance that a fair few people would be offended by this. Just why?

I immediately thought it was a Tardigrade in a scarf! PMSL - bet you've been waiting for decades to say that!

That was to @MyUmberSeal and @Lillibridge

I watched a tv documentary years ago about pork scratching being made. A pig nipple was known to occasionally turn up in the batches of pork scratchings. 😵😵😵😵😵😵

I just get adverts for funerals......

Thought this thread would be about David Cameron.

I must be getting old. That thing is grim. Incredible that people thought about it, designed it, manufactured it and put it up for sale.

Isn’t that the Temu bug plush wrapped in a blanket?

I kept seeing that weird thing too for a while. What is it?

frillygillymilly · 22/03/2025 23:13

I use etsy but buy jewellery & stationery

Notashamed13 · 22/03/2025 23:13

Brilliant... I've tried so desperately hard to envisage something else this image could be
But nope.....definitely a cock covered with streaky bacon

frillygillymilly · 22/03/2025 23:12

I don't think you are the type of demographic that the other poster was referring to though.

I've read this before on here but I don't think that can be right

frillygillymilly · 22/03/2025 23:12

I keep getting the 3rd picture with the hair and pink bit. What on earth is it? Don't want to click on it

Lassango · 22/03/2025 23:01

Fair play OP. You are bang on the money with that comment.

dontforgetme · 22/03/2025 22:31

It’s a cock in a cardigan surely?

Redshoeblueshoe · 22/03/2025 22:25

I haven't been searching. I think I clicked a link on FWR

Redshoeblueshoe · 22/03/2025 19:01

I keep getting an ad for etsy for very frilly underwear, for special ladies i.e. those with a penis. I keep trying to block it and I just get the full selection.

I nearly spat out my wine!
I wonder what you have been searching for to get such an advert? 😆

vipersnest1 · 22/03/2025 21:12

It’s fairly clear what it is if you read the seller’s name…… 🤣

Aw I gave one for secret santa a few years ago. It had a scarf and googly eyes.

Mancala · 22/03/2025 15:07

It looks more tardigrade than cock to my eyes..?

I'm not claiming to be an expert mind. I've seen more cocks than tardigrades, but admittedly still not a huge sample. The bacon is outside of my experience.

I've seen more tardigrades than cocks but you don't see me making a fuss.

PickAChew · 22/03/2025 18:06

It likely came up specifically as an ad for Etsy more than for what it is.

The ads are based on cookies. I'd be asking DH what they had been searching.....

I am the only one using my iPad. I can’t blame poor DH. There’s no search engines where he is. Bless him.

Sometimes you just gotta laugh and be light about things. It's ridiculously but funny, I don't think people will be offended so I won't be offended on their behalf.

This is so true so many get offended when they could just see the funny side and have a bit of a laugh.

Thank you for this. I have now cleared it.
I’m not sure that I would actually prefer a ‘non flaccid’ Penis 🤣🤣🤣.

Show quote history

Fair point @LumpyandBumps 😳😩

offmynut · 22/03/2025 17:35
