A cock wrapped in bacon?

I am not sure how Mumsnet choose which advertisements to display, or whether they are targeted in any way.
I am at a loss to see why this one was chosen for me.
I accept that these are toys/ models but seriously a cock wrapped in bacon?
I am not a prude, vegan, and nor do I have any religious beliefs regarding pork, but I would have thought there was a reasonable chance that a fair few people would be offended by this. Just why?

I mean, I opened this thread purely on the basis of your thread title 🤣😂. It looks like a Christmas tree decoration and would make an excellent secret Santa gift amongst my friends 😂.

I understand your point though.

Is it a Christmas decoration? Pricks in blankets?

EmpressaurusKitty · 22/03/2025 14:49

In theory the answer should be that the ads depend on your searches, because of the blue triangle in the top right corner above the E.

In practice, a lot of the ads for Mumsnet have the same symbol so I’m not sure it works that way any more - and I’ve asked about this several times in Site Stuff but not had an answer.

Here I am thinking this was going to be a cooking thread...

FuckssakeMulder · 22/03/2025 14:50

Looks more like a pale leech than a penis.

LighthouseTeaCup · 22/03/2025 14:50

I think the ads are targeted, because I'm seeing a lot of bathroom ads having recently been googling for showers, radiators etc.

But that's an Etsy ad (I got it too, yesterday) so it probably just means you like unique and personalised gifts.

Only good reason to pay for Premium and avoid ads

Ah, I hadn’t thought of that. That could be quite amusing. I would have to say that March is a slightly unusual time to advertise Christmas Decorations though.

🤣🤣wtf

GrimGusset · 22/03/2025 14:54

I didn’t know if this was going to be a thread about cooking chicken or a new sexual trend to make blow jobs more appealing.

I’m not disappointed by what it’s actually about. Grin

Darkclothes · 22/03/2025 14:57

OMG- I was just going to start a thread asking the exact same and had just saved the pic!

Here is a close up of whatever it is?
@MNHQ- can you enlightened us as to what Etsy is selling here?

I may get one as a stocking filler for my wife. She likes bacon..

Isn’t that the Temu bug plush wrapped in a blanket?

I think it's a willy-warming scarf for the man in your life who supports Stoke City FC.

PaintYourAssLikeRembrandt · 22/03/2025 15:02

Found it on Etsy 🤣 - piggy in blanket.

Someone stuck it on a santa.

Am I the only one who scrolls past ads to the degree I genuinely never know what they are for? Just looked carefully at my next ad - for FootAsylum - I have never bought or looked at buying shoes on line so no idea why that popped up…

Mancala · 22/03/2025 15:07

It looks more tardigrade than cock to my eyes..?

I'm not claiming to be an expert mind. I've seen more cocks than tardigrades, but admittedly still not a huge sample. The bacon is outside of my experience.

Stuck it where exactly on Santa? In the anatomically correct position?

@Mancala I showed my DH because I was laughing at the thread. He said that he’s seen penises that look like that. He was in the army so plenty of communal nudity happened.

KhakiBeer · 22/03/2025 15:12

You hang it in front of Santa's sack 😂

That’s how Jeffrey Epstein”s was described - as a tadpole. It’s the only time he was offended in his police interviews.

Really thought this was going to be about coc au vin! Urgh, that's creepily life-like!

TwoeightTwoeightTwoOhhhh · 22/03/2025 15:36

Is that… antisemitic? Is it supposed to be uncircumcised and wrapped in bacon intented as a poke at Jewish people?
I mean… maybe I’m just reading too much into it but that’s the first thing I thought of

Most men in the UK aren't circumcised, IIRC. And most like bacon. Maybe a 'his 2 favourite things' kind of joke?

You are reading far too much into it. That didn’t cross my mind. It’s just a funny gimmicky thing.
