There's a banner advert up the top for cow nd gate baby club.

Is it 'allowed'?

Okay, I'm hoping it's gone now. Anyone still seeing it?

Offred · 02/03/2014 12:31

Still happening.

I too was just coming to complain about this. 'Pregnant how will your boobs change?' WTAF? Fuck off from my boobs cow and gate they will get milk in to feed my baby whether or not I do that with them. They will not be saved from sag by using your product. Thanks for your input. Clever and subversive formula advertising IMO by highlighting pg women's worries about boob sag. :(

It is still happening, it changes too quickly for me to get the t.mookie link, which a similar one has been posted above, but the page URL is www.cgbabyclub.co.uk/our-community/join-our-community/?utm_source=adcommob&utm_medium=display&utm_content=320x50&utm_campaign=CommLiteRegDig14

Brilliant EduCated, thanks so much; we'll pass these on to ColetteMN now.

EduCated · 28/02/2014 16:02

And ironically now at the top of this thread...

Sorry everyone, we're not quite sure how it's managing to get around our blocks, this hasn't happened before! We're on the case.

BranchingOut · 28/02/2014 13:07

I saw this and was quite shocked that it was appearing, so am glad to hear that it was not intentional.

EduCated · 28/02/2014 13:03

Just spotted on Active

Argh, sorry about this.

If you could bear to click through when you see it so that you can get the URL of the page it clicks through to and let us know what that URL is, it makes it a lot easier for us to find it and block it. Thanks Flowers

ForgettableTampon · 28/02/2014 08:48

And yes, seen this morning.

ForgettableTampon · 28/02/2014 08:48

Perhaps it's slipping through because it's advertising the "community" run by c and g not infant formula per se.

Still don't wanna see it ofc.

Corabell · 28/02/2014 08:46

Still there!

Nocomet · 28/02/2014 00:52

It's still not gone, grrrr!

BettyStogs · 28/02/2014 00:20

Still getting it on my phone

Oh right now it's at the top of this page

ForgettableTampon · 27/02/2014 12:59

Hi Collete have just seen that ad but no idea how to screen catch it or whatever

Viewing via Chrome on Samsung mobile using MN Mobile not the app

[not hugely useful]

Thanks for the URL, it shouldn't be showing on the site anymore, please let me know if you continue to see it.

Nocomet · 27/02/2014 08:52
