Enterprising youngster gets himself stuck in a claw machine

This little kid is on to those scammy claw machines, and decided to take prize collection into his own hands. Unfortunately, he didn't plan that escape route well enough, and ended up stuck among the machine's bountiful goodies. Words of him meeting a claw-worshiping alien cult, followed by wild 3D hijinks set to the musical stylings of Randy Newman are totally unfounded. Video is after the break.

I wonder if he passed any toys off to his friends while he was chillin' in there.

This is what happens when you have no defined exit strategy.

Aw, Life lessons. What did we learn from this?

If you ever sneak into a glass house, make sure you bring a stone.

**kids**yes yes yes .....me next me next !!!!!
**police officer** OK OK one at a time....

but seriously how the heck do you get in a "lucky dip" machine?!?!?!?!?!

[edzy Posted Apr 18th 2008 5:48PM]

Well the kid obviously has some skills.
A magician never reveals his tricks, but the special forces will be keeping a close eye on him for the future. He passed Level 3. level 4:standard size vending machine.

They do say the best way to open something childproof is to get a child.

Someone should have put a quarter in and tried to steal his hat!

[sporkinum Posted Apr 18th 2008 6:27PM]

If you could get a decent enough screen capture someone should make a motivational poster of the kid looking sad with a large EPIC FAIL underneath.

He should get to pick a prize of his choice for figuring out how to get in there.

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 18th 2008 11:28PM]

I can't believe no one has asked the most obvious question . . .


If he could get in, why couldn't he get out?

I wouldn't blame the kid - it was in Broady! His fully sick VL turbo brothers and cousins are the ones he is aspiring to....

This isn't something that has never happened before. I've heard of it happening in a bowling alley in my town (Sacramento, CA).

I'm sorry, I didn't understand a freaking thing that witness in the leather jacket said.

Now getting the kid out is the troubling part,

-security team, "How can we get him out?"
-security leader, "Is this glass bullet proof?!"
-security team, "No!"
*aiming at the glass with the kid in the center target*
-kid, "Mommy!"
-security leader, "Fire!"
