"Bonbons of mortality"

For all you morbid chocoholics out there: now you can have your fatal contusion and eat it, too. Steven J Shanabrook is an artist who splits his time between New York and Moscow, and I'm honestly not sure which city influenced him more -- given the Big Apple's seasonal uptick in murders, I'd guess here, but then again Moscow's supposed to be pretty crazy year-round.

But I'll cut to the chase, but not before warning off the faint of stomach: Shanabrook, who worked in a chocolate factory when he was younger, went around making molds of the fatal wounds and casting them in chocolate. Ever wonder what a gunshot wound tasted like? Well, me neither, but apparently it's delicious:


Eat Me Daily has a few other images that are even more stomach-turning, but I think I've seen enough to steer clear of chocolate for a while. I wonder if the weight-loss crowd has caught onto this yet? Seems like an untapped dieting method, in the negative-reinforcement vein.
