PETA attacking this game is probably going to make it even popular. People are going to play it now to spise PETA.
 
right next to it is the "try to put your lobster into the boiling water" game right by the butter dispensing machine

But I also think that this game is pretty tasteless. If you're going to kill an animal for food (which I do as often as my heart can take), give it a modicum of respect.

I agree.

Pfft...

If I was a dead man walking and I got the chance to be the prize of a crane game to determine when I die, I'd be laying there immitating the aliens from Toy Story for the amusement of some chipper fellow.

This thread alone has a couple dozen people looking for these games.

whocares? they're going to get eaten anyways. Let's have some fun while at it.

I doubt the lobster knows it's being shamed. Lobsters lose. We catch them and eat them. It's part of life in the wild.
 
Man I can't wait to get home from break. I live in the next town over from Portland, and I never knew this exsted. I gotta try this when I get home!
 
This game isnt new, my friends dad in Jacksonville, FL has had one of these machines in his sports bar for years. He actually got the idea from Pete Roses sports bar.

Good post though

Where's the machine in Michigan, that's what I want to know.


They talked about it on Dominski and Doyle yesterday.. and people were calling in saying where they had these machines.. but I don't remember, since none were near me. The couple of phone calls I heard were from west side or down river.

*note: I am not against zoos or anything like that, just taking another prospective on your opinion.
You or I would think that, but an animal does not. All they do is kill, eat, sleep, and make baby animals.
They don't care how they get the food.

Anyways a lobster is like a glorified insect. It has no brain.
