Is a claw-machine considered a gadget now?

BTW: this is not the first, fifth, or ninth time this has happened. http://consumerist.com/consumer/claw-machines/hey-look-theres-a-kid-in-this-claw-machine-163638.php]]>Apr 18th 2008 1:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/enterprising-youngster-gets-himself-stuck-in-a-claw-machine/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/enterprising-youngster-gets-himself-stuck-in-a-claw-machine/Apr 18th 2008 1:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/enterprising-youngster-gets-himself-stuck-in-a-claw-machine/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/enterprising-youngster-gets-himself-stuck-in-a-claw-machine/Apr 18th 2008 1:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/enterprising-youngster-gets-himself-stuck-in-a-claw-machine/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/enterprising-youngster-gets-himself-stuck-in-a-claw-machine/Apr 18th 2008 5:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/enterprising-youngster-gets-himself-stuck-in-a-claw-machine/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/enterprising-youngster-gets-himself-stuck-in-a-claw-machine/Depending on the style of crane, such as this one, its really pretty easy to get inside, so long as the door doesn't shut completely after the last win.

The only thing they would have needed to do to get him out was play the game at all. His being in the prize box would have tripped the opto and they game would essentially dispense him as a prize, and unlock the door.

I hope they press charges on his parents. I never let them get away with it, as its treated as theft. ^^]]>Apr 18th 2008 9:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/enterprising-youngster-gets-himself-stuck-in-a-claw-machine/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/enterprising-youngster-gets-himself-stuck-in-a-claw-machine/Apr 18th 2008 9:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/enterprising-youngster-gets-himself-stuck-in-a-claw-machine/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/enterprising-youngster-gets-himself-stuck-in-a-claw-machine/Apr 18th 2008 12:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/enterprising-youngster-gets-himself-stuck-in-a-claw-machine/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/enterprising-youngster-gets-himself-stuck-in-a-claw-machine/Apr 18th 2008 12:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/enterprising-youngster-gets-himself-stuck-in-a-claw-machine/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/enterprising-youngster-gets-himself-stuck-in-a-claw-machine/Apr 18th 2008 12:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/enterprising-youngster-gets-himself-stuck-in-a-claw-machine/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/enterprising-youngster-gets-himself-stuck-in-a-claw-machine/Apr 18th 2008 12:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/enterprising-youngster-gets-himself-stuck-in-a-claw-machine/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/enterprising-youngster-gets-himself-stuck-in-a-claw-machine/Apr 18th 2008 12:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/enterprising-youngster-gets-himself-stuck-in-a-claw-machine/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/enterprising-youngster-gets-himself-stuck-in-a-claw-machine/Apr 18th 2008 12:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/enterprising-youngster-gets-himself-stuck-in-a-claw-machine/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/enterprising-youngster-gets-himself-stuck-in-a-claw-machine/Apr 18th 2008 12:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/enterprising-youngster-gets-himself-stuck-in-a-claw-machine/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/enterprising-youngster-gets-himself-stuck-in-a-claw-machine/Apr 18th 2008 12:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/enterprising-youngster-gets-himself-stuck-in-a-claw-machine/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/enterprising-youngster-gets-himself-stuck-in-a-claw-machine/Apr 18th 2008 12:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/enterprising-youngster-gets-himself-stuck-in-a-claw-machine/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/enterprising-youngster-gets-himself-stuck-in-a-claw-machine/

When I was in elementary school there was a kid that got his arm stuck in a coke machine while trying to reach up and steal one. Fire department had to come out and cut a hole in the side of the machine to free his arm.
Have we all thought about doing that? Yes.
Did we give him credit? No, we laughed at him for, well, years. He is in college now and I graduated and when i saw him last year we still brought it up.]]>Apr 18th 2008 12:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/enterprising-youngster-gets-himself-stuck-in-a-claw-machine/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/enterprising-youngster-gets-himself-stuck-in-a-claw-machine/Apr 18th 2008 3:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/enterprising-youngster-gets-himself-stuck-in-a-claw-machine/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/enterprising-youngster-gets-himself-stuck-in-a-claw-machine/

I submit that one must have a fully developed brain to qualify for the label of "stupid".

How about a little perspective lest you risk being stuck with your own label?]]>Apr 18th 2008 12:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/enterprising-youngster-gets-himself-stuck-in-a-claw-machine/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/enterprising-youngster-gets-himself-stuck-in-a-claw-machine/

IMO, this is the perfect way to have children. They're quiet (assuming the glass is sound proof), they've got toys to play with, and when you're annoyed you can pump some quarters in and prod at them with the mechanical claw!
