It appears that 'US Weekly' has accidentally encouraged cannibalism

The flesh of mortals has done wonders for my skin and hair.

US Weekly published a roundup of pricey beauty supplements on Friday. Unfortunately, they also encouraged putting human flesh in a blender and drinking it.

The outlet tweeted out the article with a still from the Netflix show Santa Clarita Diet, which stars Drew Barrymore as a California real estate agent who suddenly develops an insatiable craving for human flesh. (Barrymore is not mentioned in the article.)

Is the eighth editor-approved beauty boosting supplement ... blood?

Yes, OK, this could have been a troll. (Vulture editor Jackson McHenry also pointed this out on Twitter.) If so, it is a great troll -- congratulations to the tweeter for having a truly delicious Friday.

And if it's not? No worries! Who among us hasn't accidentally advocated for cannibalism at one point or another? C'est la vie.

Anyway, I am probably not going to watch Santa Clarita Diet or take any mushroom powder in the near future.
