LONDON -- The world of Facebook-based customer complaints can sometimes be a strange, wonderful place.

Wes Metcalfe's recent post on British supermarket Tesco's wall is a perfect example of this -- it started with a dead worm in a cucumber, and somehow ended with Tesco adapting a famous Oasis song to act as tribute for the worm's funeral.

But let's back up a step.

It's not every customer complaint that ends in a virtual funeral for a deceased worm.

RIP, William.
