The pooing cat Etsy ad

[RainbowZebraWarrior]

An ad keeps coming up (last few days) for various Etsy 'wares' e.g. a felted animal, something ceramic etc. But there is also a pooing cat calendar. The page of the calendar visible is of a ginger cat taking a revolting diarrhoea poo.

It's a bit gross. I don't know if this is an official MN approved ad, or something spammy? Can it be removed?

Why the F anyone would want a calendar like this is beyond me anyway.

Yesterday I was getting the foreign video ads "I made half a million pounds doing x"

Yes, I hate that picture too. The cat is obviously ill. Probably appeals to poo trolls.

Hi OP

We hate to ask this, but can you get a screenshot for us? We're pretty sure it sounds like an ad choices ad. You should be able to click the blue triangle and opt out of seeing it in the meantime.

Yes, it's really pissing me off too. I've seen it on Facebook a lot last year and kept blocking the add and it finally went but no option to do that here. It's really disgusting.

Agree, it’s gross

It’s horrible.

Hi all

We really need a URL to locate it.
Next time you see it, could you grab the link for us?

I've been trying to since you asked yesterday. The law of sod dictates that it hasn't popped back up again since I posted. I shall keep looking out for it.

Grabbed a screenshot just now @LilyMumsnet

Top part of the ad.

Yes, I spotted the fecker again just now! I clicked on the blue cross in the top right hand corner and reported it to Google as offensive.

Hi again @RainbowZebraWarrior

Thanks very much for posting the screenshot. That Etsy ad is definitely an AdChoices ones, not one that we've placed ourselves - you can tell by the blue cross and triangle in the top right corner. If you click on the triangle you can send feedback to Google stating why you don't want to see this ad any more. (It may take several goes before Google get the message).

Unless Google deems an ad to be inappropriate it's likely to keep on cropping up on multiple sites, not just ours, so keep hitting the X and hopefully it will eventually stop showing for you.

Can you please tell us more about the foreign video ads "I made half a million pounds doing x" that you were seeing the day before? We'll happily take a closer look if you can give us any more details.

Thanks in advance.

@JoMumsnet this nonsense is why people use adblockers but I know you all hate us using them!

Again

Thanks for the screenshot.
Next time you see the advert, please can you get the URL to it? You can do this by clicking onto it and copying the address bar text.

Who the fuck would want that on their kitchen wall?
