    The dad was too cheap to drop a couple bucks in and try to crane the kid out?

    I wonder if anyone tried to "win" him...



    damn thats a steal for 50¢



    I wonder how much he would fetch on the black market?

    lets see a 7 year old blonde haired boy...



    $30,000?

    Well you know how those games are, you think you got it, but the kid drops at the last second before he reaches the hole.

    You know I always thought those games were designed to teach children about the mechanization/dehumanization of civilization, and here, all along, the games were simply there to train the next generation of vent crawlers.

    Don't you think that 7 is old enough to know not to climb into games? Then again, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

    Ok, I just watched the video. What the HELL kind of seven year old kid is going to think "I can climb in that hole, up that little thing, and into that area with all the toys. And I'm gonna because those toys are soooo cool." ?!?! I'm just trying to think from his perspective, and out of all the stupid stuff I've done, I can't imagine climbing inside of a claw machine. I kind of want to meet this kid so I can see what stupid stuff I can get him to do.

    apparently his lack of a functioning brain made it easier to squeeze through.

    Steal?



    A STEAL?!?



    You have to feed that damn thing, then pay for it's education, then worry for it, then he'll be going through your collection of playboys, then he'll get married and be gone before you notice.



    I bet his father dropped him there himself, hoping that for $.50 someone would *win* him.

    Unless they grow up an play in the NHL, NFL, etc, kids are dead weight. I'd have sold that kid immediately and pocketed the 30 grand. Every week you keep that money sucking creature, your net profits go in the shitter.

    It's funny b/c of the OWNED! added to the image. I didn't laugh when I read it on Drudge Report (or was it CNN.com...)
