Slightly insensitive ad or is it me? *Trigger warning* [Edited by MNHQ]

Might be feeling over sensitive as I know of a few people who have had bad news recently but the ad on the main Talk 'active threads' page for 'Baby Alive' seems a little insensitive considering a lot of people come here for support with miscarriage and infant losses...

It just took me aback when I saw it, juxtaposed with an active thread about someone who had recently received bad news at a scan.

I know it's just a doll, and we can't avoid seeing baby things etc - I think it's the name more than anything....

Hi all,

Thanks so much for flagging.

We're just waiting to hear back from our sales team.

We've updated the title at the OP's request.

Hi all,

Really sorry some of you have been upset by this.

Overall we think it's actually a pretty good fit for us - lots of MNers have kids in the age range (and we were also impressed that they'd included a boy in their ads). But we do understand your point about those MNers who've come to seek support on related issues so we're removing it from all sensitive Talk topics immediately.
