Do they have tips for very old women? Gin Gin Gin

Bobbleyhat · 10/03/2018 22:21

Western society huh?

Reprehensible.

@OLIVIAMUMSNET! What have you done now?

FlissMumsnet · 10/03/2018 22:30

Hi Everyone, thanks for letting us know about this one - we've winged a message over to our tech and ads team now so hopefully someone will be able to explain what's up with this before too long....

In the meantime, there's always Gin makes everyone look better, no?

Looks like a targeted ad. Do you have webcam pointed at you?

IfNot · 11/03/2018 13:15

Well....what's wrong with being an old woman though?

NotAllTimsWearCapes · 11/03/2018 13:17

Do you have webcam pointed at you?

My grandma is 90 and wears make up. She still appreciates a good tip.

OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow · 11/03/2018 19:21

Errrr Golden 🖕🏻😕🖕🏻I'll have you know I'm in my prime!
If they had put older instead of old I might have clicked. . For a friend you understand.

I have to admit, I would love to see what tech have to say about it Grin

noblegiraffe · 11/03/2018 20:35

Could be worse, could be a website that promises to ‘get you a girl’.

I’m sure I’m going to be told this is related to my browsing history (it really isn’t), but I thought MN had something to make sure that only appropriate ads were displayed?

"Old women"?! WTF!
CarolineMumsnet · 11/03/2018 20:52

noblegiraffe - flagging this to tech now!

Can I just check, are folk still seeing the 'old women' banner ad too?

LizzieMumsnet · 12/03/2018 10:36

Hi All,

We are on the case and we are getting these adverts blocked.

If you do see anymore (or similar) please let us know and if possible let us know which page you were on- as these should not be coming through.

Lizzie

PinkBuffalo · 12/03/2018 15:08

I haven't seen either of the ones posted apart from where they were posted in the thread.
I just keep getting ads for woollen undies, which is not related to my browsing history lol. Not offensive though, so I don't worry. Also ads for boarding schools, which again is odd, but nothing bad.
