A little boy was recently reported as missing and was then found inside one of those claw/crane machines that contains stuffed animals and toys.

I was never the type of kid who would do something like this, but apparently it happens all the time!  I remember following these stories years ago and see that it still happens!  The mind boggles!!!

How the hell did he get in there??!

My friends and I used to climb into laundromat dryers and insert coins to spin.  And this was when we were in college!  By the way, if anyone wants to try this, the only way to get inside is butt-first.

I know, eh?  I can't imagine how a kid even gets into one of these machines!  I would have given up after one try!

And thanks for the helpful tip on how to get into a laundromat dryer!  I'll try it but I may not be able to get back out!  LOLLOL  I once got stuck in a big Mayor McCheese at McDonald's Playland.  It clearly wasn't built for an intoxicated 16 year old!

I was looking for the recent Vegas promo, it has a guy waking up in one of those claw machines.
The same ad had a bull in a hotel room. LOL

I missed a golden opportunity! I would have gone to the bowling alley where this kid was caught in the machine and kept inserting coins trying to claw the kid out!

There's a bit in the show "The IT Crowd" where Moss sees an iPhone in one of those claw machines, and somehow managed to get inside.

"It's an iPhone, Jen! I can get an iPhone without giving any money to Apple, I'll be living the dream!"

Then there's a hilarious bit where she has to get it with the claw machine, he drops it down the chute, but it gets stuck against his body has he has to enacy a pregnancy to push it out

"Keep pushing, I can see the power button!"

Just so long as a big Mayor McCheese didn't get stuck in you.

OMG I can just see Freddy Krueger playing 'claw machine' by reaching into the prize bin for a frightened hiding child:   "Missed you again!  I need more money to keep playing.  Hey kid, give me a quarter!"  (Freddy laughs evilly)
 
I don't think I'd want any of the prizes after a kid was in there, for the same reason I'd stay out of the ball pit:  Kids tend to pee in them....  LOL

Confused...but 'The Mayor' eventually did make You a 'respectable woman', correct?
Or, is this photo of 'The Happy Couple On The Special Day' just another lie and that's you heading to McJail for being a little too 'French fried' and wearing a training bra on your head  in public, 'Little Miss McNugget'?Cry Please tell us true - The Inquiring Mindless NEED TO KNOW!

Kids climbing into claw machines?

 
ShockedClaw Machines, eh? Isn't that where babies come from? I thought once they came out, they couldn't go back in without having to stay since they were now 'used'.
