Claw Machine Dispenses Lobster.

In a twist of the toy-dispensing claw machine, the Love Maine Lobster Claw game has a water-filled tank full of lobsters. For $2, you get a chance to catch your very own lobster.

In Louisiana, Bill Bodin owns two of the machines, which he placed in seafood and Mexican restaurants in Lafayette. The machines do a brisk business, he said, especially when there are lines and people are looking for something to do -- or for their kids to do -- while waiting for a table.

Predictably, PETA is in a boil over this.

i played one of these games a few years ago at a restaraunt in myrtle beach. i actually won on my second try (i also remember it costing $1 a play), but, being 11, i failed to recognize the value of a lobster dinner and gave it to my aunt.
