On 3 March 2016, the web site Empire Herald published an article claiming that a woman was arrested for masturbating with a Happy Meal toy inside a McDonald's ball pit. The claim gained ground on social media when it was aggregated by a similar site, That Viral Feed, in May 2016: The claim was yet another fabrication from fake news purveyor Empire Herald, which features no disclaimer warning readers that its articles are exclusively fake news and satire. Previous hoaxes promoted by that site included claims about a dog meat restaurant, another about a serial killer who purportedly carved Black Lives Matter into his victims' skin, and a falsehood about a man committing suicide over the Harriet Tubman $20 bill.
