why the hell is it called salad fingers?

Answer 1

Salad Fingers is a popular Flash cartoon series created by David Firth. The cartoon gained rapid Internet popularity in 2005. Salad Fingers portrays a strange and progressively disturbing story.

From an interview:

David Firth: One day I was playing guitar and for some reason (co writer) Crust told me I have Salad Fingers. Later his name on MSN was "Salad Fingré" "Fingré" being our term for sticking two fingers up at people (very similar to the American middle finger) We were discussing flash cartoon making and he said I should make a film about a man who likes to touch rusty spoons (he wasn't really serious) but I made it anyway.

Salad Fingers is a green man who lives on his own in a desolate shack in the middle of nowhere. He enjoys the feeling of different textures against his skin. I originally told people that if they want to know what he's about and where he came from then they should try and work it out from the stuff that he says and what can be seen lying around in the background --this is where people started playing detective so someone set up a site called the Salad Fingers Thesis with lots of very silly theories.
