comes from Havana:
Con tantas prohibiciones, carencias y problemas acumulados durante casi medio siglo, autorizar la venta de estos costosos cacharros que muy pocos cubanos tienen dinero para comprar, es como un chiste de humor negro. Es mentar la soga en casa del ahorcado. O repartir caviar en Somalia.
With so many prohibitions, scarcities, and problems accumulated during almost half a century, allowing the sales of these costly contraptions which very few Cubans have the money to buy is dark humor. It's mentioning the rope in the house of the hanged. Or distributing caviar in Somalia.
-Luis Cine in an article on Cubanet here.
