Hideous and offensive advert

15 replies

Please get rid of this advert, it looks well dodgy. It or a version of it appears in almost every advertising space on every thread I open and it's horrible.

Thanks

What the hell is that? It looks like a speculum?

SeatonCarew · 18/06/2023 12:22

I suggest reporting this post so it comes to the attention of MNHQ.

Softoprider · 18/06/2023 12:23

Is this a stealth advert?

WhisperingAutistic · 18/06/2023 12:23

Omg, wtf is that???

WhoWants2Know · 18/06/2023 12:24

They are cycling shorts

User19844666884 · 18/06/2023 12:26

When I saw this I assumed they were cycling shorts on the left, and something unrelated on the right. Perhaps I am naive?!?

That's why I put it in Site Stuff

Hi Tallisker,

Thanks for getting in touch about this ad - could you confirm which board you were on when you saw it?

We'll take a look to see what's going on here.

I've seen it on multiple boards aver the last week or so. Very off-putting

GrannyAchingsShepherdsHut · 18/06/2023 19:31

It's a TEMU advert, if that helps identify it.

They're on everysinglebloodything on the entire Internet over the last couple of weeks. Think they've just launched in Europe.

They are padded cycling shorts, a thing for knotting balloons, and some ridiculous red boots. For men, apparently.

HPD76 · 18/06/2023 19:35

If it helps, the pic on the top right are things which help you knot balloons. But all of the stuff in the adverts is probably deliberately odd to either make you click or horrified enough to show other people. I read an article this week about Temu which basically said it’s a Chinese website that once you’ve logged in tracks a load of your internet usage for possibly nefarious reasons.

ditalini · 18/06/2023 19:41

Yes it's just that Temu site which appears to be the new Ali Express.

I presume they've set this up to make you click because it looks suggestive. Thanks pp for saying what the things are and satisfying my curiosity without needing to visit the site!

I've seen this too!! Bloody Temu ads are so annoying I keep blocking it's such garbage
