Creepy fry guy

Is it just me, or is this fry guy really creepy? I spotted him in front of an antique store in Miami (that's Miami, Arizona, not Florida) yesterday. This thing is just wrong on so many levels:

• What's with the autocannibalism? Have you ever seen a character hawking food start snacking down on itself?
• Is the part of its body that it's eating hallucinogenic or something? The facial expression indicates that fry guy is likely high. Maybe that would be effective for selling baked fries, but I figured that was a cone of french fries.
• He suffers from the same malady as countless cartoon characters: four fingers instead of five. I guess that's so we won't figure he's "real".
