What is this weird fake news advert doing on Mumsnet?

It then clicks through to an American fancy dress site.
What’s that about Mumsnet?

Poor Bear having his name used in this way. 😂

This is the link to the thread it’s on for me

The website the ad takes you to is www.crazecostumes.com

This is the link when I clicked on it with my internet off like you said -

Hi OP

Can you get us the link to the ad? (click it with wifi turned off - it'll load the URL without loading the actual page).

That way we can block it! Flowers

I never clicked on it! I assumed it was for a tacky fake news item, but seems quite cute Smile
