Burger King has apologized for an online ad offering burgers to Russian women who get impregnated by soccer players during the World Cup.
The promotion on VK -- a local rival of Facebook -- suggested Russia could benefit from some good "football genes."
"As part of its social responsibility (campaign), Burger King is offering a reward to women who get impregnated by football stars," said Burger King.
The ad appeared to be ineptly trying to poke fun at an inflammatory statement by a lawmakers who urged women not to have sex with foreign fans.Distasteful indeed.
