    Woman sues McDonald's after complaining that a cheeseburger advert was so irresistible it caused her to break her fast during Lent
    Zahra Tayeb | Business Insider — 7 August 2021

    A woman from Omsk, Russia, is reportedly suing McDonald's over an advert featuring cheeseburgers and chicken nuggets, which she said caused her to break her fast during Lent.

    Ksenia Ovchinnikova, an Orthodox Christian, said she was trying to stay away from meat and other animal products during the six-week period leading up to Easter in 2019, according to multiple reports.

    The case was first reported by Russian state media and picked up by western outlets including Fox News, which wrote that she abstained from eating meat for a month when the enticing McDonald's advert made her give in, according to the lawsuit.

    Lent is a strict period in which many devout Christians are expected to sacrifice the eating of meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy for the entire season.

    "When I saw an advertising banner, I could not help myself. I visited McDonald's and bought a cheeseburger," she reportedly said in her statement.

    Fox News reported that Ovchinnikov accused the fast-food chain of breaking consumer protection law and insulting her religious feelings. She is suing McDonald's for $14 (1,000 rubles) as compensation for sustained moral damage.

    McDonald's did not immediately reply to Insider's request for comment.

    According to Fox News, Ovchinnikov said in the lawsuit: "In the actions of McDonald's, I see a violation of the consumer protection law. I ask the court to investigate and, if a violation has taken place, to oblige McDonald's LLC to compensate me for moral damage in the amount of one thousand rubles."

    This is not the first time McDonald's has been hit with an ad-related lawsuit. In May, the fast-food chain was sued by two divisions of Allen Media Group over allegations of racial discrimination.

    The complaint accused McDonald's of refusing to advertise on Entertainment Studios networks or The Weather Channel due to racial stereotyping.

    This is a clear example of how a great nation dies.

    The nation of the great Rurik.
    The father of the sons of Ru.
    The last lord and heir of the old Sith descendance that skyed down from the avalanchian steppe to battle the Gods of the north to free the Sclaves and settled the Gae mafia at the gates of Babylon with which they repelled the hordes of the Great Ones from the east before crushing the ruble hungry Avars sapping from the south.
    If not for the Aryans and their special relationship with the empire of Media the bastard knights of Ru would rushin attack.

    RDR2 strong recommend: When you see a 4-horse wagon, shoot at least 1 of the front two in the head. The outcomes can be hilarious

    Well, it happened again. Second time in two months. I had just sat down to watch the game and got to see Muncy go yard again, when I got the call from the other room. Damn dog got skunked again. And my wife who is usually not this ditzy let her in the house and was afraid to put her out "in case the skunk chased her to spray some more." So I had to do the whole hydrogen peroxide bath, again, but this time I get to go to bed in skunk scent central.

    How many times will it take before they learn to stay away from those things?

    Sorry bro. My dog never seems to learn this lesson, either. He's also at two and counting. At least he killed the skunk for me last time.

    Mine is coming up on three, but never met up a skunk until last month. Hopefully she got the message now.

    Tomato sauce/paste.
    Dilute it with water.
    Or tomato juice works.

    I think I posted this before...I used to have a blonde Afghan hound, and a terrier mix who got hold of a skunk back in the day. Both got sprayed real good before they committed skunkicide and I went for the tomato juice method. The terrier was black so, no problem...but the hound was light cream, and bigger, so I used more juice on her. And her long silky hair held the odor longer and it was tougher to get the scent out.
    She went stone pink, and people actually thought I went foo foo and dyed her, like a poodle person might do.

    The hydrogen peroxide + baking soda + dawn dish soap solution has worked well both times now. Luckily I keep a supply handy just in case. It's just such a hassle having to do this at 10pm when I'm getting ready for bed, with the dog struggling at all costs to avoid getting bathed. Hopefully, she figures out the cause-and-effect here: chase skunk, get bath. She's a border collie, which they keep telling us is supposed to be a smart breed.

    we have a border collie too
    he’s very smart, which is good and bad lol
    so far no skunk encounters, but he’s mostly indoors because there’s a ton of coyotes where we live
    but judging by his behavior on his 3-4 walks a day, he’d probably try to befriend a skunk.. which, obviously, would be just as bad a result

    It would be OK, Irish.
    I had a smelly friend when I was a kid, but I liked it. He smelled like camphor...never could figure it out, but everyone else stayed away.
    And none of us were anywhere near as smart as a border collie.

    I asked my vet about similar behavior in one of my past dogs ( who was smart as a whip), and he told me that no matter how smart they may be, if they are wired to kill certain things ( terriers everything, herders to do their job per DNA instructions), they will always do it. Unless highly trained, like military dogs.
    He said additionally, humans are worse...they can reason intellectually, but stop a stud from thinking with the little head when the opportunity arises...

    Nope. Doesn't work for shit.

    Hydrogen Peroxide, Baking Soda and Dawn is the best remedy.
    But even that doesn't get it all the way out, and the smell reactivates when they get wet.

    Showed my grandson this one over my daughter's objections. He loves when Larry pulls the gum off Moe's nose.

    These little rules are important.
    I have a hard time trusting people that don't drink (unless specifically health related). Something just doesn't sit right with teetotalers.
    I also don't trust anyone that drinks more than me, because clearly those people have a drinking problem.
