McDonald’s UK frequently introduces limited-time offers and seasonal items, keeping the menu exciting and fresh. The variety extends to beverages and desserts, with options like McFlurries, milkshakes, and a range of hot and cold drinks.

No such thing as bad publicity so might as well have an acquaintance's life-size barbie embarrass you with a milkshake.

Of course the horribly sexist comment was intended as a joke. A sexist joke is sexist.

Calling someone a life sized Barbie is a sexist comment, but writing the comment makes the commenter sexist in the same way that playing the T-1000 makes Arnold Schwarzenegger an android from the future.

I had more of a problem with the ownership words than the description of the woman as looking Barbie-like

Still, you're not getting it. The commenter is speaking from the perspective of the type of person who would do this. They are doing so to mock that type of person. If you give the commenter the benefit of the doubt, assuming that they are not on the side of the rightwing psychopaths they are explicitly criticizing, then it makes sense.

No one man has done more harm to the UK in recent years than Farage.

He is just a vulture flying on top of the destruction caused by David Cameron's political incompetence

farage stoking the fires of Brexit existed long before Cameron's idiocy. Ukip
