On Amazon, I navigated to Sports & Outdoors -> Volleyball -> Training Equipment. This returned a few things that might be considered relevant, but scrolling further down the page gives some rather surprising alternative results on an 'adult' theme.

Can anyone explain to me why? Does 'volleyball' have some other meaning I'm not aware of?

Wowwww. I can’t believe that is brought on by volleyball Grin

I wont lie I laughed out loud when I spotted what everyone was taking about 😂

Perhaps this explains why I was never any good at volleyball at school, I didn't have the right equipment!

My friend got an Amazon recommendations email a few years ago featuring some rather racy gay-themed films, based on her ‘interest in gay and lesbian drama’. She was flummoxed until she looked through her order history and realised she’d bought Will and Grace on DVD Grin

I recently searched for an inflatable wardrobe (for camping) and got pages of inflatable sex dolls! Concerned me slightly as ds (13) will look for stuff on Amazon and I don’t want to come home to blow up Brenda sat on my sofa Grin

No...dont see anything odd?

OddestSock · 21/07/2019 22:25

Well, if you know anyone who likes volleyball (and with that training equipment, you can understand why they do), you know what to get them.

bagpiss · 21/07/2019 22:25

I don't even get volleyball as an option if i go to the department 'sports and outdoor' .

Bodear · 21/07/2019 22:25

Someone share a picture? Please? Dying to know what it is.

RedHatsDoNotSuitMe · 21/07/2019 22:29

There's no way I'm searching, but hopeful someone will post a picture!

TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross · 21/07/2019 22:35

I am getting nothing weird at all...

Thelineisadottoyou · 21/07/2019 22:39

😂 it was worth the clicking for the chuckle

I get various ‘men’s electric piston cups’ some have real automatic voices, others have pistons and boosters. Got help my targeted adds!

MadamePompadour · 21/07/2019 22:41

Oh my! That's hilarious.

MadamePompadour · 21/07/2019 22:42

Ive never heard of a piston cup before. Must have led a sheltered life. I mean I've heard of fleshlights before. I assume they're the same thing/similar.? I darent google to find out!

Iltavilli · 21/07/2019 22:43

I got a clipboard Confused

Is this rather like the Tory MP a few years ago who complained how disgraceful it was that a mainstream website was carrying adverts for Titsi Tina and her Stilettos of Shame, only to go very quiet when it was pointed out that the adverts displayed were based purely on the user's own browsing history.

Wombleish · 21/07/2019 22:51

This is what I got on the app Grin

I was searching for educational toys and a dildo popped up today. I think their filters are broken Grin

SmallHaddockAndChips · 21/07/2019 23:12

Urgh! How come there are so many of them? This was my, er, favourite, so to speak! Not sure what the volleyball connection is though Confused
