What the hell is this bear grylls click bait advert? 😂

[Sharkyfan]

What is this weird fake news advert doing on Mumsnet?

It then clicks through to an American fancy dress site.
What’s that about Mumsnet?

Poor Bear having his name used in this way. 😂

I never clicked on it! I assumed it was for a tacky fake news item, but seems quite cute

Hi OP

Can you get us the link to the ad? (click it with wifi turned off - it'll load the URL without loading the actual page).

That way we can block it!

This is the link to the thread it’s on for me

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/coronavirus/3924985-back-to-work-don-t-feel-safe-risk-assessment

The website the ad takes you to is www.crazecostumes.com

This is the link when I clicked on it with my internet off like you said -

Thanks ever so much for supplying those links, @Sharkyfan

We've passed this info on to our Ads team and they're on the case.

Back again, just to say we've blocked this URL now.

Please let us know if you see any similar ads, and thanks again for providing the links.

Like this? 😂
I haven't clicked on it so I don't know where it takes us!

Oh, good grief!

Thanks @justcallmepeter. We'll flag this to the crew...

The "ad" is on this thread above my post right now

@AnyFucker

The "ad" is on this thread above my post right now

Thanks, @AnyFucker - the cheek of it!

Our ads team have blocked this one now. Please let us know if it pops up again - it's a persistent one, we'll give it that.

Um, I've had this very ad for the last hour! Just this minute refreshed & it's gone. Didn't take a pic as hadn't seen this thread.

@FamilyMatter2020

Hopefully it's been blocked now, @FamilyMatter2020, but please let us know if you see it again.

Are you going to be blocking all the shit clickbait ads on your site now? Have you recruited an entire new team for this task because it’s every ad!

If you don't want any shit clickbait on your screen you will have to upgrade to M N premium, apparently

Personally, I hate those ads from clothing "companies" that have sprung up from nowhere to sell tat grom China. Lottiemena comes to mind, but there are many

I get these ads on every thread I read !

It's still around

Im still getting it everytime I refresh active Convos.

No apostrophe
Not actually telling me why his career is over

And I'll never know why the doctors called the cops over that triplet pregnancy scan either

Me too. So annoying

I have been getting ‘Bear Grylls Career is over’ across Facebook, news sites etc for months, though the MN one had cropped up new, I think.

I can see it on this thread.

@JoMumsnet

Erm...

Thanks for posting all the screenshots. Our ads team have assured us they've blocked the URL across all display and mobile (yes, again!) and are investigating how this ad is still getting through.

And yes, @UncleShady - it's the missing apostrophe that's making this even harder to take.

I'm still getting it.

Poor Bear😂
Why do they keep using him?
This is the link
Seems to be some kind of furry throw but I haven’t gone through to it properly.
