This awkwardly worded ad makes this otherwise innocent poster feel very wrong

Do something, not someone.

Please proofread your advertisements for potentially awkward innuendos.

A redditor called MangyRunt snapped a picture of a London Metropolitan University advertisement on a London bus stop and shared it in the r/London subreddit.

The advertisement read, "Demi -- London Met graduate. Loves his mum, fried chicken, and his Biomedical Science degree. Do something you love this September."

The redditor circled "Loves his mum" in red to point out the awkward wording that makes this advert feel just plain wrong.

In case there was any confusion about why the ad was a tad ick, redditors were there to point out semantic gaffe.

How awkward. Poor Demi had no idea.
