Is anyone else plagued by this ad on Mumsnet, to the right of the thread? And what the jeff is an out of shape man in budgie smugglers dancing on a beach supposed to suggest to me about psoriasis (that I don’t have and have never googled)?

I have a gin ad. Not sure if these are tailored to our identified tastes, if so not sure what this says about either of us.

My dad had bad psoriasis. He would only go swimming/wear trunks at the beach following weeks of hospital treatment. So I understand the advert - it’s promisjng clearer skin to be able to take your clothes off and not be embarrassed/worried etc.

Years ago I had a colleague with really bad psoriasis who had a course of UV treatments to help treat it. Does sunlight/UV help control it?

geekone · 27/05/2019 19:23

Wow Shock body shaming much??

Ohyesiam · 27/05/2019 19:25

God, imagine being out of shape
Lock him up

It’s UVB that helps: www.psoriasis.org/about-psoriasis/treatments/phototherapy

It is a well known fact that middle aged men with less than perfect bodies are not allowed to be seen in public let alone on a beach exposing themselves to vulnerable children and the golden youthful types.
Just think of all the therapy those poor people are now going to have to go through all because a middle aged man wanted a bit of sun.

No, never seen that one, I am bombarded with an American ad for antique jewellery, some of the diamonds in the rings are ginormous and cost up to £250k and they also have some divine brooches which I also can't afford but want.

If you too want to be tempted open this link: www.1stdibs.com/jewelry/rings/

I only get adverts for gay cruises, replete with young men in trucks smiling with arms round each other.

Looks great but I'm not sure if be welcomed 😂😂😂

MenuPlant · 27/05/2019 19:42

I'd be welcomed, that should say!

Myownname · 27/05/2019 19:52

No, I have a gin ad, , which always makes me want a G&T !

Peperpiperpickedwrong · 27/05/2019 20:03

Samsung ad, gin ad & Thomas Cook ad for me. Oh and bohea teas add I keep bloody hitting by accident so it pops up even more.

Sparklesocks · 27/05/2019 20:05

Oh I like him, my ads are really dull Grin

PouncerDarling · 27/05/2019 20:06

Sunlight ameliorates the symptoms of psoriasis, as others have stated.

coconuttelegraph · 27/05/2019 20:09

Yes!!!

I wondered if it was some kind of dodgy ad, no way will I be clicking on it. If it's a genuine ad it's terribly misjudged. It's the strange pose I don't get

chemenger · 27/05/2019 20:12

I’ve had the same Bohea Tea ad for the last 40 years (or so it feels), I assume it will be there until I click it, or hell freezes over, which will happen first.

Saucery · 27/05/2019 20:15

I don’t see him, Wrinkly Old Bloke, Manky Feet or any of the other shite. God bless AdblockerPlus. Grin

TheRLodger · 27/05/2019 20:16

I don’t like the foot treatment one

JamB4cream · 27/05/2019 20:26

I'm on mobile web page and have this ad with a man on a lake beach wearing a pointy black duvet.... weird!

Also sometime get the psoriasis beach man too, I presumed it was because I use Dr Google too much.

Not so sure why I get German camping equipment though

Just zoomed in on the screenshot of duvet ad person, they seem to be standing on one black stilt.......why?

boatyardblues · 27/05/2019 20:33

It’s a scarecrow/stand, not a person.

EssentialHummus · 27/05/2019 20:34

I think discount German camping equipment wins jam.

I’ve had psoriasis man for years. I spend my days googling gardening advice, potty training and intermediate Russian grammar; I have no idea how he came into my life.

I’ve seen the ad on the telly - it makes me laugh!

JamB4cream · 27/05/2019 20:39

Oooooo, I think it might be a stand to air your sleeping bag on, I'm going to click and see if I can find it in the shop
