From the Vegas.Com Blog Post By Nikki Neu
Read this absolutely rediculous blog post in which this broad talks about a lobster arcade game where you try to snatch a live lobster and if you do you get to have the restaurant cook it for you. She loves to eat lobster, has cooked them all her life but she suddenly has a heart when you throw the game part into the equation. It’s amazing to me how hypocritical these folks can be.
I obviously don’t have a problem with cooking, eating, or playing a game to win your lobster before you eat it. I just don’t see how it is she draws the line here and like many other bananaheads probably breaks a bagillion other peta rules daily.
Here is part of her blog post-

Since before I can remember, Iâve been eating lobster.
When I was adopted from Korea at three months old and landed in Manhattan, my first meal off the plane was at the Palm Too restaurant, sitting on the table in my carrier, wishing I had teeth while my parents feasted on lobster. As soon as could, I joined my parents in what became our traditional Saturday night meal for years.
I love lobster.
So it caught me off guard when I was particularly disturbed and angered by a recent find. While doing research at the Fremont Street Experience, I stumbled upon a machine in the Las Vegas Clubâs Tinocoâs Kitchen that looks much like the carnival or arcade game. Itâs a vending machine with a claw at the top. You position the claw to descend down and grab the toy or stuffed animal so you can give it to your girlfriend.
Only this machine wasnât filled with soft, fluffy stuffed animals, it was filled with waterâand in the waterâlive lobsters.
I know how cooking a lobster works. Back in my culinary school days, I had the pleasure of dropping one of these live crustaceans in a pot of boiling water and you had to hold the pot cover to keep the lobster from escaping. Not a great visual, but necessary nonetheless. The difference between this game and cooking it in the kitchen would be in a kitchen, the ingredients and preparation are sacred and respectedânot mocked.
But it was something about trivializing this process as part of a game, where guys would egg on their friend desperately trying to maneuver the joystick and position the claw so he could âwinâ a lobster. Cries of joy ring out as the poor, relatively helpless lobster gets jostled and grabbed by the clawâmuch the way the demolition crane would pick up an â86 Cutlass Supreme in a junkyard.

To watch some other bullshit in the world of trying to sell phoney baloney cruelty to animals watch the video interview I did with this salesman for the Crustastun- a machine designed to electrocute a lobster because the company has decided that they get to say what is the humane way to kill a lobster-

Personally I’d prefer the jacuzzi style hot bath as opposed to the zapping by the electrocution style Crustastun.
