The Bite Heard 'Round the World

Somebody in California found a finger in a serving of Wendy's chili. Okay, let's say it all together: EEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!

Now let's say it in French: EEEEEEEIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUX!!!! Because this story is important enough to have found its way into the French news, too.

Love the AP's title for the e-file: Finger-food. The French aren't nearly as imaginative. Both stories report that the finger was well cooked.

Yup, this is America's important contribution to the rest of the world: body parts in fast food. Well, they already think we're warmongers and baby-killers, so I guess this isn't so surprising.

But I still won't eat tripe.

Update: The woman who allegedly found the finger has been arrested and charged with attempted larceny for perpetrating this hoax. Enjoy your chili. Or chicken fingers.
