I don't know about you, but whenever I encounter an ad on Wish that offers me an ingrown toenail remover, I get this contradictory feeling. On one hand, I want to share this atrocity with the rest of the world so I'm not the only person scarred by it but on the other, posting it on my personal social media accounts isn't exactly ideal either—I want them to give the impression that I'm at least somewhat normal. So you can imagine how excited I was to find out there was a place where we all can spread our disgust for cursed blurbs.
It's a Facebook group, called 'Ads with threatening auras.' You may have already seen it on Bored Panda since my colleague Innes covered it a few months ago, but after our publication, the group's popularity has exploded and it has surpassed the 100,000-member mark, which has brought even more content, so we just have to make an update on it. Below you will find its top posts since our previous article. Enjoy!

HUNT THE VULNERABLE CHILDREN AND WOMAN TO GIVE THIER BLOOD TO THE BLOOD GOD
This was obviously made on purpose, lol. It's probably a real ad, not just some layered ads that somebody ripped up on the subway
Yeah, it must be...But if it was an ad for Aldi, would Aldi have permission to use a government logo in the other half of the ad? (And if it was an ad for the police, would the government include Aldi in their ad?) ??
Load More Replies...This has to be fake. Vulnerable is spelled wrong. Or did I just miss the point?? 🙈
Dual.... unless they have agreed to fight... I'm placing my money on the cabbage in this duel.
Load More Replies...And the biggest cabbage in the UK with a sausage paired up....trying to hunt down vulnerable women and children.
Load More Replies...Would it really be a disaster if solar flairs destroyed the internet?
When Bored Panda spoke with Áron Somos, the founder of the group, he told us that 'Ads with threatening auras' is actually the second popular group that he's created.
“I created this page based on previous experience and on the back of an idea,” he said. “Roughly ten years ago, when Facebook introduced the group feature, I created one for a particular car model, solely to experiment with this function. A year-and-a-half in, that group started to explode and is currently at 112K members.”
This means that it's still ahead of 'Ads with threatening auras.' But for how long?
There's nothing low-key about sending you out into a bullet filled tornado, lol.
Load More Replies...Nope. Idiots think either "I wonder if that's true?" or "I bet it doesn't hurt the WHOLE time"
Load More Replies...Definitely the right situation to be very graphic and direct. Although one must wonder why such dangerous equipment is not better shielded or supervised.
It's a lathe, you need to be able to get right up in there while its running.
Load More Replies...I have the urge to throw a freshly killed pig into it.

When I was at school to become a machinist, quite a few...
Load More Replies...“Although I'm yet to see a penny from the group, it never failed to give me a good giggle,” Áron explained. “It can sometimes be time-consuming to moderate, but getting that daily laugh I'd say is a well-worth payoff.”
When trying to define what makes the group so interesting, Áron noted highlighted that there are plenty of adverts with creepy photos or poor word choice that highlight the importance of an editor or an approval process.
“We are surrounded by so many advertisements that just don't feel right. They're either odd, cringe, or weirdly funny,” he said.
“Either way, a somewhat professional team or a big dog at a firm signed it off. That fact highlights that we're only human, and being higher up in the food chain doesn't mean that we're evidently better at PR. I believe the group filled a gap in our lives and created a platform for everyone to go to when they encounter such an ad.”
Nope. Ordered some stones and water.....on arrival they should have bread and wine..
Load More Replies...Jesus is outside the front door. The other two members of the Trinity are lurking in the bushes
"This is Aquafina. I ordered a Merlot." "My bad. Hang on a sec. There ya go."
"Hey, why do you keep ordering wine with your salad.... ohhh, never mind"
Who names their child "Jesus?" NOBODY. BECAUSE THEN UBER TRIES TO KILL YOU.
My husband and I ordered Dominos one night and used the App to follow the progress. My husband put his hands up to the sky and shouted "It finally happened! Jesus is making our pizza! Hallelujah!!"
No no no, fresh, organic skeletons are best, kill and clean your own!
Load More Replies...If you can donate your body to science when you die, can you choose to donate it to entertainment?
I would be glad to offer my remains for a kick-ass Halloween display
Load More Replies...hmm I suspect this one is a tad racist. But if you google trafficking stats: Pakistan, Thailand, China, India, and Bangladesh are in the top 10 for countries with the largest number of trafficking victims around the world. India is at the top of the list with 14 million victims, China comes in second with 3.2 million victims, and Pakistan comes in at third with 2.1 million victims.
It is literally not at all racist to acknowledge the certain people commit noticeably higher amounts of rape/trafficking. Goddamn, stop being so sensitive and worrying about offending people when it comes to serious topics about safety.
Load More Replies...So long as there are weird adverts, there will always be plenty to share in the group. With over 106K members (up by 33K from our last publication), the community, according to its founder is very diverse.
“It's not revolved around a certain age or ethnicity. Most people are there to have a good time and never fail to engage in a conversation with others on a particularly funny or controversial post. I truly enjoy building a like-minded, yet diverse community that can sometimes disagree but express it in an appropriate way.”
So if you enjoy these pictures, feel free to join the group! There are plenty more to scroll through. So much so that it can be hard to pick a favorite.
“I like the terrible ones like the funeral ad in the subway saying ‘come a little closer’. Or the one passive-aggressively commanding you to download the app because they paid for the ad,” Áron commented on his.
Tuesdays I understand. But have you ever been to Thursday?? It hurts.
Load More Replies...I'm sorry about that, I was starting to get excited

Load More Replies...You may be surprised at how many gay beer-drinking alien needs I have.
Load More Replies...This is a clever name for these kind of stores. You don't need any of it, but you leave with loads because you N!E!E!D! it.
I know a couple of people who could become regulars.
Load More Replies...He may need a couple of friends to keep him company.
Load More Replies...And... this is a simplified version why some "artists" manage to sell s**t (sometimes literally) to idiots with too much money.
Not sure. They mention it was chosen through the number of likes, which is usually more of a popularity contest.
Load More Replies...I'm guessing a kid did it or people chose it for fun. I like it. The doggy smile is still spot on.
Load More Replies...Nr. 1 sure knows how to network and pull some strings 😂😂😂 plus it is super bad in an oddly charming way. I can't help but like it. Nr. 2 is super talented, wow!
Wasn't there something exactly like this about a frog contest? Where someone drew a literal hyper-realistic frog and got second place against a 10-second sketch?

Well, just imagine the cost of hiring specialized hunters and send them to Kashyyyk. It is very far away from here and Wookies are smart and strong.
Load More Replies...Only a cheap knockoff because he can't afford the real deal.

The only cure for that is to have a gay alien regurgitate beer onto the painful area.

Nope, not albino. Dark eyes, dark skin...just a sweet ol' white doggy.

I think you might, totally unintentionally, have misinterpreted something here - but hey, whatever floats your boat!
Load More Replies...My bf was a victim of their e. Coli outbreaks and he was throwing up on every stop of his train ride home. He's never eaten there again.🤢
So accurate. If a restaurant gives you fair warning about possible discomfort to your inside's after consumption. Don't eat from there.
Dressing up as Jesus or an angel, might not be a good idea either. 🤔
I need the back story. I am sure there was a very scary Halloween for all those involved before this sign became necessity.
I’m an infection control nurse in a SNF (skilled nursing facility). 90% geriatric residents. We keep it happy and simple on Halloween, i.e. cat ears, butterfly wings. Some of these residents have dementia and/or psychosis to a certain degree so anything over-the-top or death-related won’t do them any good.
f**k bakugo (not really tho, hes my favorite) , I need these
Load More Replies...I just typed "abusive balloons" into Google and there are tons of them out there. Very abusive and very funny, especially the British ones (not posting those!). Abusive-Ba...0b600f.jpg
I've just done that as well. Thinking about buying them for my 60th.
Load More Replies..."The stolen items include a pit bull terrier and two crates of Mountain Dew"
Proper English would be took'd. Act like you got book's learnin.
Load More Replies...In my locally published police log, someone called the cops to report a break-in. Items stolen were a tv remote and a PopTart.
I can top that. I was robbed once. Because I have almost nothing, I reported theft of a bottle of wine, a bag of gummy worms, and some costume jewelry.

Is this not for when you have something on the seat, that is heavy and triggers the car's beeping sequence, so you use this to turn it off?
Which you could also do by using the seatbelt, securing the heavy thing in place so it won't go flying through the car when you have an accident possibly injuring you.
Load More Replies...Excellent idea! But dang, (a) ten days too late Xmas is gone and (b) actually no 2years to late booted them out of our lives.
Load More Replies...Tired of hearing the pleading beeps your car makes trying to convince you to be safe while operating it? Buy these to silence it so you can enjoy a short flight that may last your whole life.
In Polish taxi's also popular. I think it got two uses: 1. for taxi driver, that he will not be tied with seatbelt in case of be attacked by passenger 2. for passengers, that driver will not have to always told them to fasten seatbelts (passengers often dont do this)
Load More Replies...Did anybody notice the words "do not use" on the bottom left wireless seatbelt?
A perfect gift for the anti-masker in your life :) Plus both outcomes that come from this item are positive for you (the person dying, or being arrested)

well what do you know, maybe it's a grape-flavoured ketchup dispenser which cleans your hands
I don't know how this is supposed to be an "ad with a threatening aura", but... by now, I guess most of us are used to BP authors forgetting what list they're composing when they're halfway through.
Is this list halfway through tho? I'd say they forget on average around #8. Here they made it spectacularly far.
Load More Replies...I have a soap dispenser labeled "mustard" because clearance-bin mustard pumpers were $0.99 while big soap dispensers were $12.
Ketchup used to be fish sauce. Then Heinz came along with "Tomato Ketchup." So Grape Ketchup is not out of the realm of possibility.

Happy Valentine's day --> hvad alen a pp tiny yes --> [does] Alen have a tiny 'pp'? yes
Hahaha I probably wouldn't have noticed that if they hadn't posted the picture alone!
"PP" (also sometimes spelled "peepee" or variants thereof) is a slang term for genitalia. So basically, "pp tiny"...
Load More Replies...They claim to be "friendly", so a bit of foxy boxing might be acceptable
Yes, Origami. I can turn you into a paper flower in less than one minute flat.
It's when two or more women wrestle as "adult entertainment".
Load More Replies...I was at Labor Ready years ago and the questions were "how often DO you smoke crack?" And, "how would you rate yourself as a fighter?" Thats before I went to prison. So I didn't get hired.

OT, but I'm reminded of the time my Dad went for a haircut in a seaside resort and the barber kept breaking off to sell live bait at a side door
In a small coastal area of NC, there is a convenient mart called "Coffee and Worms." That is the name of the business. I love it!
Wasn't that place called Stuckeys back in the day? Along with the Howard Johnson's restaurants
We had one near our house that said "Coffee & Worms." I asked my husband..."doesn't that make the coffee a little chewy? "

Load More Replies...I would totally do this... I'd bring my german shepherds but I'd gladly get paid 15/ hour to listen to someone sing me original songs about moon and stars no matter how bad they are at it. Sounds like a pretty sweet way to make a buck..... Highly doubt the validity but it made me laugh and the creeped out comments are awesome.
Did everyone miss that it says "I will pay" meaning he pays you to hear him sing. Or did they just think he had an accent?
For those people who are really hard up for gas money
Load More Replies...Clearly he can sing. Otherwise he wouldn't have posted pics of him with his mouth open. Open mouth=obviously singing. So yes, at least we know he can sing. And that's covered. Now I wanna know: I like the moon and the stars as the next man, but does he know other songs about different topics? Such as: the sun, the planets, eclipse, meteors, black holes, our lovely Earth; pretty much the whole range of topics a Song can cover...
You never know how many children Adam kidnapped-I mean has.
Load More Replies...It may well be true, but they certainly didn't post that. It is a very poor photoshop - you can see the end of the original text underneath.

Alternatively, find every entitled member of the Walmart dynasty, kill / exile them (along with many of the other multi billionaires)and then distribute their combined wealth, then, ping, at a stroke, poverty, homelessness, medical inequality and many, many other things wrong in the USA and the World would be wiped out at a stroke ..... Revolution anyone ?
One time I was learning Italian on Duolingo and the sentence was "you will be with me until I die"
I’m doing French on Duolingo, and I got “your mom is a flat egg, die.” I was confused as hell.
Load More Replies...Dutch is also awesome on Duolingo. Apart from being able to tell someone that I am an apple, I've also learnt the very helpful phrase "Er is een leuk feest in de gevangenis" (There is a nice party in prison). My Dutch friend is very proud of me. ...I think ... 🙈
Awww, A for effort anyways. Dutch is awful to learn.
Load More Replies...i learn Russian with duolingo and my favorite sentence so far is "people all over the world take showers and only you don't want to" "i like to sleep on the floor" is a close second.
I'm learning Dutch on DuoLingo and got: Ik ben gewoon een arme jongen, niemand houdt van mij. (I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me.)
Yeah, I learn Italian on Duolingo and it said "The elephant and the mouse killed the dog while playing volleyball." WTF?!
My friend used to learn Latin on Duolingo and one of the sentences was “the father sacrifices daily”

Load More Replies...Some years ago I diagnosed my wife's sleep disorder by recording her breathing at night with my iPhone. It might have saved her life. I took the recording, put it into my DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) and I timed the interval between her breathing. I then charted it in Excel and brought it to the doctors. They put her on a advanced Cpap machine immediately, which they weren't going to do before, because she wasn't having these problems in their sleep study. Sleep studies rarely catch environmental causes and since you are hooked up to sensors all over, they often do not reveal the real problem. Some of the intervals in her breathing were as long as 14 seconds. The chart really impressed the doctors. I may get this app.
Looks like it's called Mintal Tracker. Available for the iPhone. Can't check other platforms though. Guess what I'm downloading....
