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?

My favourite part about that ad is that Etsy have put "save on mum's faves" at the end of it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

My first thought when I saw it was someone is a Joey from Friends fan 😅

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

But does she like cocks…

Big ones! So why she's with me, God only knows! 🤣

I thought it looked like a sandworm out of the Dune movie!

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

Some people really work hard at being offended. Really stretching for it there

So glad my phone is too old to show ads 😅

KendrickLamarsJeans · 23/03/2025 11:19

Most of Etsy is now shit Temu/shein/wish stuff. And I think they put weird shit on the ads because it makes people click it to see wtf it is.

I originally thought that ad was for Temu to be honest as it's similar to the ones I see on Facebook when scrolling.

Cock/fanny art is big on Etsy. This is my favourite creator.

If you send her a pic of your partners knob she'll craft a flower pot out of it for you!

One more pic. A perfect gift for your Nana that likes knitting.

That’s quite worrying. I definitely haven’t been doing searches for bacon or male genitalia.

No but have you searched or visited /recently bought handmade goods, craft supplies or anything like online? Or has someone in your household done so?

I'm also not convinced all the ads are personally targeted, I've seen lots of people on threads when other weird ads started appearing be told by some people it's a reflector of what they search but then others have said if you're always declining cookies and tracking on websites then you get the weird shit instead of personalised ads.

I don't know how true that is but it makes sense for me, I don't accept cookies and get some fucked up ads at times.

I like that the etsy strapline is 'save on Mum's favourites', made me chortle. All I'm getting in my feed are bunion shoes! I'm assuming it's because I've been stalking the Birkenstock sales.

Id feel like I have to send my yarn for an std check after using that.

Joking aside, I can see there's skill that's gone into making it and but that looks so angry and infected and wouldn't help me get to my happy creative state of mind when crocheting and if I was given that as a gift I'd probably end up researching how to get rid of pottery warts. Very skilled work though.

Bet it’s a talking point if they do craft fairs.

OH! I was really struggling. Looks like the contents of the shower drain.

ElizaDolittle4321 · 24/03/2025 01:29

So am I the only one that doesn't think it looks anything remotely like a cock, then?
