They are making me feel queasy, and I feel like I have been averting my eyes from them for days now.

Can't we have something nice to look at instead?

I hate them too. They look just revolting, but I hate all the bloody eyes and the fake gore and blood too.

Glad im not the only one who hates them

KnittedJimmyChoos · 16/10/2014 19:07

i agree they are horrid

dreamingofsun · 16/10/2014 19:11

me too they look sick (and not in a nice way)

CrashDiveOnMingoCity · 16/10/2014 19:20

At first glance, I thought they were hot dogs and got all excited, then I saw they were gross fingers and distress followed. I'm still craving hot dogs though!

They make me feel sick Sad.

Yadnbu! I can't eat lunch while browsing at the moment :( It's the yellowed 'nails' apparently oozing blood that do it...

Goldmandra · 16/10/2014 19:27

Having recently been to an anatomy demonstration in which I saw real dead fingers close up that looked horribly similar, I really could do with them disappearing, at least over lunch times.

Whatdoiknowanyway · 16/10/2014 19:29

i really dislike them too.

Hatespiders · 16/10/2014 19:35

I pronounce it ahmund.

Those fingers are gross. But I bet children find them excellent and giggle like anything!
( I've just watched the video and I don't find them so awful now. In fact...I may make some for our village children when they come round on the night!

BreadForBrains · 16/10/2014 19:35

I can't see them!
But I pronounce almond like Desmond (but Al as in Al Murray).

Mintyy · 16/10/2014 19:38

Agreed. I started the same thread yesterday. Really fed up they're still there.

insancerre · 16/10/2014 19:40

What fingers?
I can't see them. I've got adblock

specialsubject · 16/10/2014 19:40

eeww - normally good at ignoring the side bar but those are disgusting.

two weeks to the next retail-fest - what's the rush? You can buy the ghoulish crap the day before if needed. Even worse, all the retailmas crap is in the shops too.

roll on January.

Goldmandra · 16/10/2014 19:42

I've got adblock

Please tell me more Smile

ADishBestEatenCold · 16/10/2014 19:45

"Al - mond. But it doesn't rhyme with all or ball. More like the name Al, and then Mond"

Yes, I think I meant that, now I say it out loud.

"The l is silent. Al mond is a mispronunciation."

So Ah mond? That sounds okay, too.

LizzieMint · 16/10/2014 19:45

YABU, we made them last year, they're brilliant! Plus amputated toes (mini sausages wrapped in flour tortillas and liberal ketchup).

valrhona · 16/10/2014 19:45

Hate the yucky fingers.

ADishBestEatenCold · 16/10/2014 19:47

They do look foul.

Quite clever, though, given that they are meant to look foul!

DealForTheKids · 16/10/2014 19:48

Um...

I toyed with the idea of starting a thread about this.

But the ones nearest the camera, to me, look a little like...

whispers

Penises...

YANBU

BertieBotts · 16/10/2014 19:50

YY it's the blood around the fingernails which does it. It makes me press my fingers to make sure mine are still attached Hmm

Idefix · 16/10/2014 19:52

Gross, wish they would go...please mnhq!

FrontForward · 16/10/2014 19:53

I thought they were a little phallic. I've seen too many naked old men....

PamShoo · 16/10/2014 19:54

I keep doing double takes at them, thinking they are penises! :o
