An inspiring metaphor for the triumph of the downtrodden…well, unless you’re considering eating the rich…
[edited to remove greedy octopus, per @LutherBlisset’s note below…I wasn’t aware of the anti-semitic connection…]
Also…Oldboy sequel? I’d cringe-watch.

Death by choking also happens to several people each year who eat live squid, mostly in Korea.

@TheGreatParis - I use octopi too, but we and Clive are both about equally “wrong.”

Out in the open ocean there aren’t a lot of choices for what to eat. That dolphin was probably psyched to get some calamari, and unless you’re a scavenger everything you eat is alive and kicking.

Don’t snort fish, kids!
They’ll just lodge in your nasal cavities and you’ll asphyxiate!

Octopuses, or if you want to be a pedant octopodes but English plurals work just fine. Fake Latin plurals on the other hand don’t for words derived from Greek.
But I hate fake Latin plurals for English words even when they are of Latin origin.

Do not mess with octopuses, people. They will cut you. They will cut you while they are inside you and dying.
And Australian.
Cthulu bats last.
Shit, is that a bumper sticker yet?
