Fed up with Ann Summers ads

As a mid 50s woman I really don't look up anything involving sex nor talk about it. Quite happy with my life.
Am not happy with the Ann Summers ads. Yes, they are porn lite, but they objectify women and I presume MN sells our data to them.
Please stop.

@BeckyAMumsnet
Just came on to say still seeing them.
Just got them on this thread
https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/5418905-aibu-to-think-taylor-swift-is-being-carefully-repositioned-and-were-not-meant-to-notice

but not quick enough to screen shot butThey have been popping up everywhere!

I read MN at work (have nothing to do, so bored) so the proliferation of arses is really not work appropriate!

Got one!
But wasn't sure how much you needed

Thaks, @CherryogDog - we're taking a look into this now.

You know how ads work right OP?

I don't like them either and I hadn't looked up anything like that neither am I likely to buy any of it.

Seems to be the Mumsnet constant ad of choice on my screen in the last couple of days too, and I really don't want to see them either.

What has being a mid-50s woman got to do with it?
Hate these presumptuous posts that assume all people are the same. Plenty of mid fifties women like the ole sexy time thank you very much, and yes even shop at Ann Summers!

@Notmyreality well my body shape/age is hardly represented in the ads. If the organisation involved might actually be brave enough to represent me then I might be more interested.

Thank you to everyone who's shared screenshots and urls. If anyone else is able to share these, they'd be most welcome.

This has been going on since August unfortunately. I saw they were back again yesterday.
Full page (gross) Ann Summers adverts | Mumsnet

Bums, bums everywhere. Obviously still happening - seen just now but disappeared before I could screenshot.

@Pebbles16 Thank you for starting this thread, you saved me a job.

And Mumsnet - please block these ads, they are gross. 🤢

Ironically came up as I was reading this thread.

Absolutely ridiculous, mumsnet is becoming like those dodgy sites with adverts galore.

The one on the top of the screen is flashing on and off so much im sure it should have a flash warning for epilepsy.
