Bottled Bodies o' Road Kill

At first, I thought this was horrible: An English company called BrewDog has begun putting its bottles of ale inside the stuffed bodies of small animals.
The wee little squirrels, hares, and stoats (small weasels) were roadkill. Then someone from BrewDog scrapes up the animals and has a taxidermist prepare their bodies for use as bottle holders.

Why? To be outrageous and get attention, I guess. It's definitely gross! But when BrewDog spokesman James Watt said, "The animals died of natural causes...better to be celebrated and valued than left to rot," I wondered if he might be right.

Wait— getting run over by a car isn't a "natural cause" of death. That applehead! So this IS horrible: Horribly dopey!

And speaking of dopey, that reminds me of a song:
99 bottles of beer on the wall,
99 bottles of road kill.
Take one down, pass it around—
Oh YUCK!
