Angry birds on Aibu

I don't like it. Glad to hear it is temporary.

Muddha

I'd suggest tie in with diazepam and fine french wine

Oh and babybel

My boys love and cannot wait for the angry birds film

So no yanbu

Pfffttt call that a shitlist

My own personal shitlist is longer than that. It's on a vellum scroll dammit

Anyhoo how did Cadburys/kraft slip through the net. They reneged on their promises put people out of work and what's more their chocolate is shiiiiiit

Wow good on you MN for having the guts to stick with that list. I'm impressed

I also thought it was a shout out for the Victoria Meldrews amongst us to gather here

Nothing wrong with advertising - it's how the world works. Perhaps there should be an option for those who are so anti to pay a premium for MN Ad-Free membership? Bet they wouldn't like that up 'em!

Oooh I love it! Personally I think it's easy to scroll past the advertising, it's a small price to pay for having a free MN.
MNHQ, keep up the great work :)

Don't mind advertising, it's part of life - either we pay to access stuff, or somebody pays to access us.

Not keen on the new emoji but it won't cause me any harm, unlike the angry birds toy in DD's (rare) happy meal that I stood on!

The only "advertising" that has ever pissed me off on Mumsnet was the Cadbury Panel which was complete bullshit. What's it been now, six months? I've had not even a sniff of chocolate from being a member, it was a pointless exercise presumably to generate discussion about the brand. I see the brand in a far more negative light as a result of their association with Mumsnet now.

Laguna - err, of course it's only my opinion, not sure I attributed my views to anyone else?

And what's wrong with advertising is a whole other thread about commercialism and consumerism, possibly via some Huxley. But possibly too early and sober for that.

Worra That is most definitely a spliff and no-one can say otherwise!

Keep the ads popping up at the top of the screen by all means but a post to openly advertise a presumably shit film is just a bit disappointing in my opinion

Why? if the site relies on money generated through advertising to run, then whats wrong with advertising?

And your opinion of the film is only that - your opinion. Others, particularly children may actually enjoy it!

its a free to use site that has to be funded in some way, I've never seen an advert for a product or service that I felt particularly dubious, tends to be things that would be of interest to families; which considering we are on MUMSnet seems pretty reasonable.

If you're not interested, don't click the as links or enter the comps. Simples.

Also, y'all better take your weans to see it, then download the mobile game (yes, there is a game of a movie of a game...) And give it good reviews, so DP still has a job next week and my kids will still eat

I think I must have your skewed perception too Adrenaline

Which is why I love the Mumsnet spliff so much

As you are still able to use the site with Adblocker in place, I think that this kind of advertising is v discreet & a clever/cute way to make it fully permission-based.

BoatyMcBoat Why? tbh whenever I see the leaf it reminds me of a marijuana leaf but I accept not everyone has my (skewed) perception.

I thought a glittery ticker was a euphemism for a vajazzle.

Aibu to not know what a glittery ticker is? Or what the glittery site is? Almost certainly I imagine, though I'm inwardly grateful.

Doesn't matter what happens on this site, there's always someone moaning about it. Get over it or go to the glittery site.

I'd rather have an angry bird emoji than bloody glittery tickers!

I have two boys desperate to see the new film. I'm going to take them, and I'll be toting ear defenders and a good book:o

Though I think using brew for tea is a bit bonkers, but hey.

It's quite fun. I do like the way you produce new emojis from time to time. The tardis and dragon were great.

I quite like it. The newer emojis are a lot sleeker in appearance than the older ones. Perhaps the older smileys could be earmarked for a bit of refining treatment Justine?
