Из нью-йоркского ресторана Lucy’s Cantina Royale уволили бармена Дарью Пауто и официантку Тамару Илизарову, которые участвовали в создании сюжета телеканала Russia Today о приготовлении бургера в честь дня рождения президента России Владимира Путина, сообщает телеканал «Дождь».
7 октября, в день рождения Путина, RT опубликовал сюжет, в котором рассказывалось о бургере весом 1952 грамма: в 1952 году родился российский президент. Изготовление бургера инициировала Пауто, а Илизарова снялась в ролике RT.

That's when Aleksei Kovalev, whose website The Noodle Remover investigates the veracity of propaganda, thought "something didn't smell right.”
None of the restaurant's social-media accounts showed any mention of the special, so Kovalev called the restaurant, which is located near the Manhattan transit hub of Penn Station, to ask about the burger and was told "it has nothing to do with us.”
Kovalev then found a picture of the waitress on various casting agency websites and identified her as
an aspiring actress named Tamara Ilizarova.
After receiving conflicting reports and phone conversations on whether the burger did, indeed, exist, restaurant owner Sean Ryan finally e-mailed Kovalev with a definitive answer.
"Lucy's Cantina Royale was the subject of a hoax involving Vladimir Putin's birthday,” according to the e-mail from Ryan, published on Kovalev's website.
"Our restaurant has never celebrated Vladimir Putin's birthday in any way, shape, or form and has never offered a Putin Burger. Lucy's completely disavows the statements made in the video, which are false. The employees responsible for this hoax have been suspended pending an investigation.”
Ryan also confirmed that a restaurant employee named Ted Bryan, who was quoted in the report, did not exist.

Мало того что не подумала о последствиях, так ещё и ничего не подозревающую подругу прицепом за собой потащила.
