Ksenia Ovchinnikova claims she was lured into indulging in a juicy McDonald’s burger — and now she’s not lovin’ it.

The Russian woman is allegedly suing the fast-food chain after claiming that seeing a mouthwatering cheeseburger commercial made her break her fast during Lent.

Ovchinnikova claims she had adhered to the belt-tightening custom for a month when she saw an enticing Golden Arches banner advertising a cheeseburger and chicken nuggets. Despite successfully fasting for the last 16 years, the hangry woman couldn’t resist and “visited McDonald’s and bought a cheeseburger,” the repentant religious follower admitted in her statement.

Putin better beat up some lawyers, before they destroy what is left of Mother Russia!

"There's more than 200 McDonald's outlets in Russia, but the one in Pushkin Square in Moscow holds the distinction as being the busiest in the world."

“Despite successfully fasting for the last 16 years, the hangry woman”

Shouldn’t she be dead?

I’ll wager that after 16 years of fasting, she should be REAL HANGRY.

—”No one ever went to Hell for eating a Big Mac. “

“Jews don’t recognize Jesus, Protestants don’t recognize the Pope, and Baptists don’t recognize one another in the liquor store.”

Might have to add Mickey D’s into the mix?

No one “makes” you “feel” anything.

Feelings come from within you, by your choice(s), not by someone “forcing” you to feel one way or another. Even being “compelled” to “feel” a certain way comes from an internal choice you make as to how to react; it - your reaction - is not forced on you.

Even in this “woke” society, “triggers” are triggers to the person who decides they are triggers, and they have zero to do with intent or power of whomever issues them in speech or otherwise.

The flip side of all this nonsense is an equally muddled mind we see when someone says “I feel..............” when what they really mean, what they really should be saying is, “I think............”.

She only sued for $14? The local assault attorneys here run half the adds on the local TV station bragging about multi million dollar robberies,, er settlements.

More people been robbed with a briefcase than have ever been robbed with a handgun.

Does that include government employees with their paws on my wallet?
