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?

The post that was quoted here has been removedSurely, 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.
