I noticed this story in the Guardian Website while doing some background reading for Duchess's Syria thread. I really think offering a life times supply of burgers to anyone who gets themselves up the duff by a World Cup Star is a little bit beyond what might be thought of as good ethics. Do advertisers have any kind of grip on reality?

>What relation could this possibly have to my thread about Yemen?

It doesn't, but most online news sites advertise other stories on the pages they display and I saw it when looking at one of the stories about Yemen. It's extraneous information.

Surely, this promotion could be criticized for being sexist and ageist, appealing only to
women of child-bearing age. It reinforces the trope that, after winning on the sports
field or the battlefield, victorious men should expect sexual access to women as a prize.

So, you're going to lodge your complaint about it here? Why don't you tell the Russians about it? They are the ones who did this.
