Angry birds on Aibu

myMurphy I see your point and I myself exclusively bottlefed from the start - definitely the best thing for my family - but I am still outraged that they actually 'invented' follow-on milk (even the name is stupid) to get around the ban on advertising infant formula. I'm clued up enough to not buy into this bollocks but I know many folk who think follow-on milk is an absolute necessity.

Felt a swell of pride at that boycott list - glad to support Mumsnet's moral stance...but another one here wondering how Cadbury (Kraft) slipped through. Immoral company who reneged on their promise and decimated the good name of Cadbury. The advertising deal must be worth ££££££££££££££££.

just trying it out

Personally think that formula milk should be allowed to advertise. There are plenty of babies that wouldn't be here otherwise!

When angry birds was first released (the game) I used to spend hours playing it. There's always an angle slingshot game popular with every generation. There used to be a tank game in the 90's using the same idea.

Anyway, the trailer looks funny. I think ds will want to watch it for sure. Alice through the looking glass is being released around the same time and I'm more excited about that.

I definitely prefer ads to paying < tight >

I like the angry bird and all the newer emoticons, especially of course the .
Oh, you can never have too much
and I'm of course

I'm on the App with my iPad Air 2, but I just checked with Safari and the ad looks ok for me, not like Fru's screenshot:

Wondered why I was seeing !

About SeaWorld, I mean.

At least it's not an evil company that makes shit chocolate.

I'm not convinced that all the birds used in the game/film would have been humanely looked after.
Not sure about the pigs either, but fuck 'em, the egg stealing bastards!

Ah, couldn't you just briefly tell us, monkey, please?

Oh I remember the Thomas Cook sponsored thread that went south very quickly. It was posted within days of my that judgement. Lots of people not happy.

Seaworld? Watch blackfish

I'm using the talk app. s the only angry bird I can see.

Yes, this "sponsored by" aspect is new, in love that is true, but its still fairly unobtrusive. Just an extra bit of text/ image.
I'm dreading the day we have to watch a short video before being allowed to click on the next thread!

I agree the ads have always seemed unobtrusive to me on here. Until now. I'm a regular but not prolific user, but I've never seen anything like this 'sponsored by' type of brand endorsement on mumsnet before. Perhaps I've just been lucky.

I have always been so pleased/ surprised at how UNadverty MN is. I've always found their adverts to be very unobtrusive.
I've had several years of help/ advice/ entertainment here for free!
No complaints here.
I like Angry Birds anyway.

inlovewithhubby clearly you haven't saw the ads I referred to before then, where they literally open up right across the screen and you have to search for the 'x' to close it in order to continue reading the thread Of course this is subtle in comparison

What is it about Sea World? Please don't start advertising for Thomas Cook again, it was only this year that the judge said how awful and uncooperative they were about the whole process which undoubtedly added to the suffering of the parents.

I'm miffed the 10 yo doesn't want to go

I think it's really rude to complain about (inoffensive) advertising on a FREE (to use, not run) site.

Can you please get some advertising revenue off of the aubergine lobby? I quite like the emoticon.

Well, if there was an angry vipers movie... Until then, will do.

Amazed so many people are angry about advertising on MN, would a monthly fee be preferable? You should see the gin bill at HQ. Looking at AIBU, I can see why it is needed. I'd install a gin tap if I worked there.

I have no objection to advertising at all.

But this is what I'm seeing when I go into AIBU - I can't even screenshot it all in one go because the ad is too big - so I'm having to attach two screenshots, one is the top bit of the ad and the other is the bottom bit of the ad.

Who on earth at MNHQ thought that this was a good idea? Seriously?

(MacBookPro / Safari)

The only reason it annoyed me is because I've been telling DS the film doesn't have a release date yet and I'd keep an eye out evil mum. 'Twas working well until he appeared behind me and saw the big 'incoming May 13th' advert. "Oh Mummy, look! That's this week. We can go on the weekend now! You did say Mummy, when it's out we could go. Remember?"
Busted!

I love the
Think some people need a to stop getting so worked up over nothing..

Yay re. anti Baby Show. I left another parenting site because of their support of that. They had no morals.
