On another picture there are cut-off dicks on the counter. Post that. It fits Destructoid much better.
On another note, I don't know what this has to do with Resident Evil in the slightest. Just stupid shock value.

... I tend to agree that it's silly shock value marketing. It doesn't tend to make gamers look too bright and given some of the horrific dismemberment's and murders recently in the news (Luke Magnotta who mailed the body parts to various schools and government offices) - this seems to be in incredibly bad taste.
The debatable value of shock marketing aside, Magnotta's antics happened a world away from London. If this were occurring in Canada, I might agree.
@Beccy... there was actually an international manhunt for him and he fled to Europe and was eventually captured in Germany before being returned to Canada... so the incident did get a lot of international press and was of particular concern for Europe.
... just to add to my previous comment, I think the point I was trying to make was that so often PR companies don't tend to look at things from a more world wide perspective. Their marketing campaigns (particularly in the world of gaming) may be more regional in nature, but will be noted on a larger world stage. In this day of the internet, there's really no such thing as "regional marketing" anymore.
The Magnotta incident was in Canada, but the victim was a Chinese national and there was a lot of press in Europe during the hunt to arrest him With the specifics of him mailing body parts out - the concept of of a meat market with apparently purchaseable (or edible?) fake human limbs just seems in bad taste and one has to wonder if PR companies even bother doing a quick web search for any recent reality based news stories that might negatively impact their marketing campaigns.

I hope people walked up to the store repeatedly and asked in a disgusted voice, "Uggh, what /are/ you selling?"
