Tasty, pure and simple.

Damn. I'm good at the Claw Game. I wish they had some of those loster filled ones around here since lobster currently sells for $20+/lb.

Trick is, they butter the lobsters BEFORE you try to catch them.

I suck at claw games. I'd be spending $400 on a lot of frustration and no lobster ;)

Generally, I think PETA is off the deep end.

I kinda agree with them on this.

The whole concep feels wrong.

I went to a bar the other day in Hollywood and they had one of these. I was a little bit horrified (because I'm a pansy) but my friend thought it was hilarious.

Lobster tanks just look so very sad.

I think they need to send in the naked protest chicks before I can decide.

I hate lobster. Now make it a Salmon claw game and I'm in. Levi had it going on:

Leviticus
11:11 They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.
11:12 Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you

Because People in power are Stupid:11:12 Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you

Wait a minute....Does that technically mean going swimming is an abomination?

best invention ever. they're just insects of the sea.

i don't know about torture, but it is incredibly stupid.

Apparently these are not new, at least in....Japan?

Now if it were magnetic..... (new window)

Meh...let me know when I get a triphammer and can wade into the holding pen for "Stun Your Own Sirloin Night"

There's a place in Mesa (I think. Maybe Tempe) that has one of those.

Saw one in a bar on Boylston street in Boston at least 10 years ago. Peta didn't care then?

I saw one of those for the first time like 10 years ago...

cretinbob:Apparently these are not new, at least in....Japan?

I saw one there almost a decade ago now, but was unable to snag a lobster.

This is news? I saw one of these at a bar on the riverwalk in San Antonio about 15 years ago.

These have been around for years. Lived in the FL keys and they had a couple down there. The lobsters aren't very good. They're in there too long.

I saw one at a bar 50 years before they were invented so this is old news.

Not if you wear your flippers and uh have a portable set of scales in your pocket.

Well PETA can go to hell.

As for this, I wish a restaurant around here would do that.

when I was a kid, we did that with crayfish and a shopvac.

only we did it in the creek.

PETA is a bunch of farking morons. Thanks to them, big cats in zoos are not allowed to be fed live meals. Which is causing their brains to waste.

Whenever you see a pacing cat, it has forgoten basically everything except how to walk and breathe.

/has friends who work for zoos
//get to see what goes on backstage

Poppa Boner:"That's okay I eat fish, 'cause they don't have any feelin's"

Neither do Asians. Does that make cannibalism ok?

Yup.

damn slow refresh.

*shakes pudgy fist*

More like torture, cheap and tasty

No Family Guy reference where Stewie wrestles the lobster in the tank? I'm disappointed....

PETA is not about saving animals (see their record for killing rescued animals) but about making money. Fark'em.

Meh, I saw one at Dick's Last Resort in San Antonio over 10 years ago.

ArbitraryConstant:I think they need to send in the naked protest chicks before I can decide.

Hippies tend to exhibit poor grooming skills.

/In short, DO NOT WANT

I'd rather get a lobster harmonica. Definately not a Harvard diploma.

/someone better know this

Larry the Lobster protests.. at least he had a vote.

\Eddie Murphy approves

Crap! I'm turning into one of "them"! Must step away from computorb!

Alton Brown told me that they are closer to cockroaches than anything else.

I really don't feel bad anymore.

Dude, you can't reference The Simpsons here and expect it to go unnoticed!

i may not love everything peta does, but this is not cool.

Jaysus. Time to replace the battery, Belltone.

approves

So when are we going to start eating PETA members?

/I don't condone cannibalism
//Except when it's hilariously ironic

Jesus hates seaweed?

It sounds like the company is doing everything they can to let the lobster die in as pain free way as possible. They stab it in the head before going hot water swimming. The company makes a very good point that lobsters eat other lobsters, so if it is unethical for humans to eat lobster then lobster shouldn't be allowed either. People need to remember that we are a few thousand years out of being wild animals ourselves and part of nature. Survival is a key element in one's life, and if given the choice I am willing to bet that PETA activists would eat an animal in order to survive.


Buffalo burgers sound good right now.

Saw one in Taipei about seven years ago. Thought it was totally hilarious. They're going to be eaten anyway, might as well leave in some element of chance...

/hates lobster
//it's not a meal, it's an autopsy!
///one more for probably-not-obscure slashies

I'll bet Mohammed the Crooked Used Goat Dealer wishes some of those PETA chicks woudld get naked on his behalf, as he languishes in Guantanamo Bay awaiting his scheduled habeas corpus hearing in 2036.

Instead, the PETA nitwits channel all their angst into saving anencephalic creatures that amount to giant sea bugs who would tear you limb from limb (dod-a-chock? dad-a-chum?) if they could.

tag for the win...

disapproves

What's wrong with you people! PETA's RIGHT on this one

Claws ARE torture devices.

(That's why I rip them off of boiled lobsters and neutralize the threat in thick, savory butter.)
