Taking creepy marketing strategies to a whole new level, Capcom is setting up a human meat market in East London this weekend.<\/p>\n

The exhibit, entitled Wesker & Son Resident Evil Human Butchery, features real meat fashioned into human body parts. Items include the likes of peppered human & lemon sausages, J’avo caught human thigh steaks and pots made of red and green herbs. Yum.<\/p>\n

All proceeds go to the Limbless Association, a charity for people who have lost limbs. No, I\u2019m not kidding.<\/p>\n

For a more educational weekend, you can head over to St. Bartholomew’s Hospital Pathology Museum for a lecture on how the Resident Evil games connect to real life.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t the first time Capcom has pulled a crazy marketing stunt for Resident Evil, as it also opened a restaurant in Japan based on the series. I think I\u2019m seeing a pattern here.<\/p>\n

Check out the grisly photos from the exhibition:<\/p>\n
