Failed halloween prank (includes gross image of joke)

Surprise! Severed Meat Hands Scare
The Daily Beast wrote: Talk about an unhappy Halloween. A Norway grocery store tried to prank its customers by displaying fake human hands in the meat department. Shockingly, the joke did not go over well. The hands were stamped with nutritional information stickers and labeled as a product of the fake Chop Shop. “Who the hell would allow such things?” one person angrily wrote on Facebook. The store responded by saying that “our intention was obviously not to upset our customers … we are withdrawing the products.”

===========================

My immediate first thought - the final panel from Tales from the Crypt (issue 32)story called "T'aint the Meat, It's the Humanity" (art by Atlanta's own Jack Davis):

The story, as summarised on Wikipedia:
During World War II, a butcher decides to make money on the black market by selling rotted horse meat as steak, with horrific consequences when townspeople start falling sick because of it.
To add: he sells the real meat that he manages to get under meat rationing out the back door to black marketeers who deliver the horsemeat (which isn't "rotted", but "tainted").

The punchline comes after his own grade-school age son comes home after dinner with friends, and dies from food poisoning.
Not even duct tape can fix stupid. But it can muffle the noise.

I guess some people are only satisfied with full meals and don't like finger foods.

The article fails to mention if the bakery section had ladyfingers.

I'd post a pun, but I threw my hand in already. I can't even get a toe in the door around you guys.

Bet you they don't have the guts to try this again.
