Burger King sorry for offering lifetime supply of Whoppers

New Delhi, June 21: Here is the latest news that The Company Burger King has apologized for offering a lifetime supply of Whoppers to Russian women impregnated by World Cup players.

The burger chain launched the promotion on VK - a Russian alternative to Facebook – promising 3 million roubles (£36,000) as well as the free food to "girls who manage to get the best football genes" and "lay down the success of the Russian national football team".

We believe in you! the advert exclaimed.

Critics condemned the promotion, which was pulled from Burger King's social media accounts on Tuesday, as sexist and demeaning.

The fast-food company posted a Russian-language statement on local network VKontakte, saying "we offer apologies for the announcement we made. It was too offensive".
