Crunchy Fraud

Some might argue these sorts of man-feigns-dogbite stories don't deserve to be labelled "news" (or at least should be less emphasized than they are), but I have to confess that ever since CSI started, I'm fascinated by them:

Where did the finger come from?

If police know, they aren't saying. Neither, apparently, is the woman who was arrested for allegedly planting the human fingertip in a bowl of Wendy's chili in San Jose a month ago. She remained in jail in Las Vegas, being held without bail.

Reportedly, though, there's no truth to the rumor that this scam has derailed Wendy's new ad campaign ("Finger food you can really sink your teeth into!") and website (www.digitalwendys.com) . . .
