    oh and obligatory "***** the RIAA"
    • JaredXM, on 04/24/2008, -1/+20WTF?
      • Tobey, on 04/24/2008, -6/+12How is that obligatory? Do you even know how comments work?
        • MadScientist440, on 04/24/2008, -2/+23Good question from someone who is replying to the wrong guy in asking if he knows how comments work... how ironic.
          • ShootTheCore, on 04/24/2008, -0/+7That must be the first time I have ever seen the word "ironic" used correctly in a Digg comments thread...
          • crazeystacey80, on 04/29/2008, -0/+0Mad dude you're an idiot. Do the world a favor and kill yourself.
      • bitterbug, on 04/24/2008, -3/+7It's much easier with newborns. They have that soft spot that the claw just sinks right into.
        It's handy in a fire too. The nurses can carry them out 5 per hand.
    • Karna101, on 04/24/2008, -7/+13STFU noob. comment = EPIC FAIL.
    • noahgelman, on 04/24/2008, -1/+14"They started to dismantle it in order to get the boy out"
      If by dismantle you mean put the key in and turn it allowing the glass window to open smoothly and easily without any real trouble at all, then yeah, they had to dismantle it. They overplayed the seriousness. They have to open it up every time they put more prizes in.
      • black27696, on 04/24/2008, -0/+3Actually, they probably dismantled the side of the door that had the lock on it. The store itself doesn't typically fill those, the company that leases them out comes out to do it, so the store probably wouldn't have had a key.
        • bigsteve, on 04/24/2008, -0/+3Haha, now they'll be forced to keep an emergency "Retard Kid Stuck in Claw Machine" key around..
      • sambapati87, on 04/24/2008, -0/+1Yea you'd think it wouldnt be too hard.
    • itsthebrod, on 04/24/2008, -1/+6Go back to 4chan and never return here again.
  • scott2368, on 04/24/2008, -6/+63it was a toss between getting the boy or a cool bunny doll with the claw

    poor kid :(
  • Axxion, on 04/24/2008, -44/+8OMG thats so sad how could he have gotten in their, (sarcasm) Oh wait he got himself in their. His own fault.
    • feliks2, on 04/24/2008, -12/+29In their what? Their claws, their teeth, their grip? I don't see what your trying to say here.
      • jilliebair, on 04/24/2008, -3/+30Riding someone for their grammar when you don't know which YOU'RE (vs. your) to use??? Hmmmm......
        • wickensworth, on 04/24/2008, -3/+14I wish you had misspelled something so that we could've extended this little telescopic grammar correct-off.
    • jroowizzle, on 04/24/2008, -3/+13there*
    • ubunt2007, on 04/24/2008, -10/+7there? that's? learn to write.
      • bitterbug, on 04/24/2008, -3/+1What?! No capitalization?! You should be flogged.
  • JlmAWP, on 04/24/2008, -15/+59I kinda wanted the Oompa Loompas to make an appearance...
    • loudthing, on 04/24/2008, -6/+170What do you do when you're in a claw game?
      Proving you're mother ignored you again?
      Was it your goal to win a free prize?
      By taking advantage - of - your - size?

      Better call security!

      Oompa loompa doompity doo,
      Just use a quarter the next time, you fool.

      • nimblemix, on 04/24/2008, -5/+4Nice! You, my friend, get a digg!
      • expert01, on 04/24/2008, -3/+26Utter. *****. Brilliance.
        • DeFex, on 04/24/2008, -6/+3as opposed to typing unnecessary periods, which is the exact opposite.
      • MaxPayne3476, on 04/24/2008, -4/+11I would have dugg you up but instead you used the wrong form of your.

        lol just kidding, dugg +1

        • rentmitchum, on 04/24/2008, -7/+2lol you better be kidding. I was about to bitchslap you -1. I'm so important.
        • russelbutt, on 04/24/2008, -4/+3your vs you're (you are)
          ie., "what do you do when you are in a claw game"
          im pretty sure he used the correct word.
          thank you. come again :)
          • Zalyster, on 04/24/2008, -1/+6Proving you're mother ignored you again?
        • DemDude, on 04/24/2008, -0/+3russ: wrong line.
          thank you. Try again =)
      • iddybiddy, on 04/24/2008, -0/+2Quaters ? gee you guys have it good, its a $1.00 coin to test your stupidity on these things in Australia
        • doc99, on 04/24/2008, -10/+1yh dat's 1 AU Dolla ... it's like ***** £1.00, nd dat dnt get u far up here in the UK ... belive me when I say da £ is worth way more :( ...

          so I've just made dat geeky! (Y)
      • Spuy767, on 04/24/2008, -1/+1The only thing I can possibly suggest is changing it to "Procure a free prize" in the interest of syllabic equality. Well played good sir.
    • AtiimKiambu, on 04/24/2008, -0/+39Can I hire you to follow me around and make up oompa loompa songs for everyday mistakes?
      • loudthing, on 04/24/2008, -0/+46of course.

        What do you do when you've lost the remote?
        It's not in the couch, or under your coat.
        Would you stand up? No, you'd rather be dead.
        Just throw your shoe at the set - in - stead.

        "Who's the smart one now?" you ask.

        Oompa loompa doompity doh,
        life's just not easy as a couch potato.
        • PaulOwen, on 04/24/2008, -2/+4He's a poet
          (and he doesn't know it)
          • SurrealDream, on 04/24/2008, -0/+3He's a poet and he didn't... realise?
          • Harabeck, on 04/24/2008, -0/+1His feet show it, theyre longfellows.
        • carleethian, on 04/24/2008, -0/+10are we sure these aren't stock? this's gettin kinda eerie
      • doc99, on 04/24/2008, -4/+1U have too much time on ur hands haha, bt gd work (Y)
        • weareglass, on 04/24/2008, -0/+4Not enough time for vowels in your life, is there?
    • rentmitchum, on 04/24/2008, -11/+3What do you get when you crawl in machines
      Woody and Buzz do it better, it seems
      You will probably end up at Cid's
      With a rocket strapped to your back.. and .. shins

      I DONT LIKE THE LOOK OF IT!
    • rentmitchum, on 04/24/2008, -10/+1What do you get when you crawl in machines?
      Woody and Buzz do it better, it seems
      You will most likely end up at Cid's
      With a rocket strapped to your back.. and .. shins

      FALLING WITH THE STYLE IS LOTS - OF - FUN
      (doot doot doodly doodly doo)
      • rentmitchum, on 04/24/2008, -6/+1How the ***** did that happen?
        • WallnutBoy, on 04/24/2008, -1/+6You posted a horrendous comment, forgot to WAIT a few minutes and refresh a few times before deciding it obviously hadn't registered, so you posted the same horrendous comment all over again, adding a bit more failsauce on the end.
  • slickstar, on 04/24/2008, -22/+2lol sucked it.
  • mattcoady, on 04/24/2008, -7/+175Wish they had tried to get him out with the claw.
    • blahtastic, on 04/24/2008, -0/+30I know it's terrible, but I would have had to fight myself very hard to not try to if I found the kid in there. I think the urge would have won out.
    • pavvy, on 04/24/2008, -1/+19if i manage to get the kid out, its mine, right?
    • Ohimesama, on 04/24/2008, -0/+8Wouldn't have worked. He was already in the prize drop box... where would you have put him?
    • megamod, on 04/24/2008, -0/+4Is it just me or does this seem like a scene from toy story wit all the little plush aliens living inside the machine praising the claw.

      OOOOooh the CLAW!
    • moush, on 04/24/2008, -0/+1I wish they would have given him a toy out of the machine, he deserved it.
    • aMammoth, on 04/24/2008, -0/+1They'd totally do that in reno 911.
  • jroowizzle, on 04/24/2008, -7/+99"Anyone have a quarter so i can try and get this kid out?"
    • friendlyman, on 04/24/2008, -58/+13lol quarter. Silly Americans and their funny words for coins.
      • emt1451, on 04/24/2008, -7/+65For someone with a nickname of "friendlyman" you're a bit of a douche bag aren't you?
        • friendlyman, on 04/24/2008, -34/+5Yeah? Well I had sexual intercourse with your significant other!
      • iDiggIt42, on 04/24/2008, -3/+50Actually, it's a quarter of a dollar, so it's not exactly some random funny word.
        • ANT1138, on 04/24/2008, -11/+21It's one of the few things in America that make perfect cents.

          wocka wocka wocka
          • Onyxblaze, on 04/24/2008, -14/+7You mean like... cents as in 1/100? oh... that's right suck it.
        • jroowizzle, on 04/24/2008, -8/+2snare snare crash
        • expert01, on 04/24/2008, -1/+18Exactly. Does he expect us to call them Two and a Half Decidollars? Or does he think we should just use coin amounts divisible by 10?
        • riskybeats, on 04/24/2008, -0/+2Hmmm, two and a half decidollars does have a ring to it.. But quarter is used in the metric system as well, so friendlyman is just an idiot.
      • rockandrollmark, on 04/24/2008, -0/+5Yeah. They're quarters up here in Canada too. And the queen is on our money.
  • randomm, on 04/24/2008, -16/+5Wasn't this story on digg 3 weeks ago?
  • Balks, on 04/24/2008, -56/+8I loved how they described the way the claw game works. Stupid Brits.
    • EmileVictor, on 04/24/2008, -4/+17Are you ***** kidding me?
    • mgrest, on 04/24/2008, -2/+41Yeah. Those stupid Brits and their Australian accents...

      Stupid?
    • randomstupid, on 04/24/2008, -2/+6please say you typed that on purpose .
    • BrentyD, on 04/24/2008, -1/+7LOL whos the stupid *****?
    • Myonosken, on 04/24/2008, -0/+7Oh this is classic.
    • mitch37, on 04/24/2008, -0/+5Wow you are an idiot.
    • hauntedchippy, on 04/24/2008, -0/+4A tied winner for todays moron award. Go up to the podium with the guy who thought Wales was in Kentucky
  • aimhelix, on 04/24/2008, -13/+8Let me guess. He lost the game?
  • Mikhail101, on 04/24/2008, -11/+6What a bad parent.
  • wreckosaurus, on 04/24/2008, -7/+234It took rescue workers 15 dollars in quarters and nearly a half hour before they finally managed to free him
    • 51684, on 04/24/2008, -6/+4These games cost 25c to play in the US? In Australia they cost around $2 for 2 turns.
      • punkcat, on 04/24/2008, -0/+5they used to be 25c, not sure you can find them for that much anymore.

    • serif69, on 04/24/2008, -0/+15Then their father complained that they could've bought another boy at the store for less money.
  • PussInBoots, on 04/24/2008, -10/+181How the ***** did this imbecile get in that machine?
  • bonds, on 04/24/2008, -4/+57"I'm not gonna call the hospital because you won't learn anything if I do."
  • kinseyincanada, on 04/24/2008, -2/+31how the hell did he get in there?
  • xwfilm, on 04/24/2008, -2/+54Dugg for the anchor cracking up right before they cut to the story.
  • crowbar77, on 04/24/2008, -1/+10Wait so how did he get in there?
    • Elliuotatar, on 04/24/2008, -0/+24Teleportation.
      • richIsBored, on 04/24/2008, -0/+7Only God should have the power to be all places!

        *zzztttt

        /boy cries
    • Oea420, on 04/24/2008, -0/+7lol why do people keep asking this?

      There is only one way in...
  • victorycig, on 04/24/2008, -2/+27Reminds me of the Simpsons bit where homer loses Maggie in the newspaper vending machine.
    • TonguesCanSpeak, on 04/24/2008, -1/+0I thought of the same scene...also funny how that machine is filled with Simpsons toys
    • AtiimKiambu, on 04/24/2008, -1/+5That would have been pretty hilarious if they ended up pulling the kid's clothes off, leaving him naked and crying in the machine.
    • moush, on 04/24/2008, -0/+1Everything is stolen from the Simpsons.
  • stuwanker, on 04/24/2008, -9/+4Anyone else think Tansel Solak was baked?
    • TFBeej, on 04/24/2008, -0/+1Nah, thats how all Broadie people talk.
    • mgrest, on 04/24/2008, -0/+4No, just high on excitement after seeing a small child inside a vending machine. Don't knock it until you've tried it...
  • abeg, on 04/24/2008, -9/+162in an other story... Michael Jackson was last seen at the bank changing his money for quarters.
    • 4N6DNA, on 04/24/2008, -3/+13lmao, good show, good show.
      • hardoff, on 04/24/2008, -5/+0.....except they don't use quarters in Australia.
        • Myonosken, on 04/24/2008, -0/+10Yes because that really ruined the joke.
    • luzio, on 04/24/2008, -6/+0Where did Michael Jackson get money?
  • bakagaigin, on 04/24/2008, -22/+2Oh no I hope this isn't another digg down fest...
  • visionaryIX, on 04/24/2008, -13/+2Buried for college humor.
  • morgrar, on 04/24/2008, -10/+1I hate those games. So many damn quarters. That kid owes me quarters or a freggin' stuffed animal.
  • FizzanoMatrix, on 04/24/2008, -10/+3Pretty high up on the "owned" scale.
  • jilliebair, on 04/24/2008, -10/+1I guess he won't ever try to get a soda or bag of chips from a vending machine, will he? Nope, not him--HE won't ever get his arm stuck. Perhaps this should be a lesson to those of us who have ever thought of retrieving a lodged vending item.
  • and303, on 04/24/2008, -5/+124That's why you shouldn't give kids the gun from Portal.
  • BinaryDelt, on 04/24/2008, -10/+7What a dumbass.
  • thokks, on 04/24/2008, -8/+3Dugg for the instant thought of a crying boy being grabbed by the claw dangling above a layer of stuffed animals.
  • DannySpace, on 04/24/2008, -9/+2Let's hope Michael Jackson doesn't see this. We certainly don't want to give him any further creepy ideas than what he already has.
  • RonReezy, on 04/24/2008, -4/+3i wonder if the kid got the toy he had originally set out to get by entering the machine...
  • phenix, on 04/24/2008, -4/+7About half-way through, I checked the url to make sure I wasn't at the Onion or another similar site. How did he get in there???
    • Chalks777, on 04/24/2008, -2/+6is collegehumor.com that much more of a reliable source?
      • coldeve, on 04/24/2008, -1/+2No, but it is an actual clip from Channel 9 news in Australia.
  • SecretPact, on 04/24/2008, -7/+13This happened on an episode of How I Met Your Mother. Good show.
    • Slayerdude51982, on 04/24/2008, -0/+6Dunno why your getting dugg down for mentioning this happened on a show, I think it's hilarious that it happened on both there and in real life, BTW I'm a huge HIMYM fan myself so.
    • 5plic3r, on 04/24/2008, -1/+2except that this kid didn't get to keep all the toys
      • ogmak, on 04/24/2008, -0/+1Then again, he didnt pee on them...lol
  • zeedigg, on 04/24/2008, -5/+4Slow news day in Australia... I reckon he was 'planted' in there :)
    • TFBeej, on 04/24/2008, -0/+1As the it was in broadie proberably the parents were trying to give him away as a "Prize"
      • BladeMelbourne, on 04/24/2008, -0/+2More like they were drunk and playing the pokies at the TAB.
        The kid would have been locked in a hot car, except they can't afford cars that lock in Broadmeadows.
  • Yodacola, on 04/24/2008, -28/+1I don't find this very funny at all. Maybe we should laugh at the starving kids who have pot bellies while we're at it.
    • Shawn4168, on 04/24/2008, -0/+28Yes, because that's exactly the same thing. Thousands of children tragically die from getting stuck inside claw machines every day.
    • Arcan, on 04/24/2008, -0/+7Oh yeah, they're exactly the same, really.
    • linuxpenguin, on 04/24/2008, -3/+1I don't think anyone cares if you think it's funny, and I also don't think news has to be funny.
  • omercyme33, on 04/24/2008, -3/+2I wonder if they gave him a free prize from the machine.
  • SonicRift, on 04/24/2008, -8/+1I think this kid is the next Harry Potter or something...
  • jp12380, on 04/24/2008, -2/+4They over dramatized this story, I remember a story like this but the kid was happy the whole time because no one over reacted to him being inside the machine.
  • SuperStingray, on 04/24/2008, -7/+2He deserves a free toy from the machine.
    • BladeMelbourne, on 04/24/2008, -1/+9So if I break into a bank vault or a strip joint I deserve...?
  • Tayls, on 04/24/2008, -7/+2How dumb do you have to be to end up impossibly stuck INSIDE a ***** claw machine? Holy hell.
    • randomstupid, on 04/24/2008, -0/+1what about the dude in the elevator a day or so ago ? the humanity
    • computrius, on 04/24/2008, -0/+1For god sake people, the kind couldn't have been more than 2 or 3.. You don't think your being the least bit harsh? I'm sure you weren't exactly Albert Einstein when you were his age (and probably are not much smarter now than corky from life goes on.)
    • aleksgg, on 04/24/2008, -0/+0I hear you.
  • jennabunnykins, on 04/24/2008, -4/+4Hasn't this happened before? Or is this just an old recycled story?
  • andrewbr500, on 04/24/2008, -1/+16I could understand, maybe, every other word from the witness. I'm not even sure that was English.
  • Modestexcuse, on 04/24/2008, -3/+1That kid is Damion Angel. I clearly see the resemblance.
  • scarz99, on 04/24/2008, -7/+1This is way old, I swear I saw this on Digg about a week ago.
  • YodaJones, on 04/24/2008, -10/+1Well we don't use "Pounds" for our currency. But we do pound your tea up your asses, or dump it in the ocean.
  • TheBuzzKiller, on 04/24/2008, -0/+10did you see that lobster harmonica?!
    • Danktolker, on 04/24/2008, -0/+3Maybe you'll get some respect once you get that Harvard diploma
  • sfacets, on 04/24/2008, -3/+6This is funny for you people? This is what it is like every day with Australian News. We lead an exciting yet uninformed lifestyle down here.
  • kpaphysicist, on 04/24/2008, -0/+4He better had snatched the lobster harmonica... come on lobsty. Much better than the Harvard diploma.
  • typea84, on 04/24/2008, -1/+42"I'm in a glass case of emotttionnnnn"
  • Rekottop, on 04/24/2008, -3/+1LOL! Just that LOL!
  • cowsgonemadd3, on 04/24/2008, -4/+2You know the strangest thing happened to me the other day. I went to play one of those claw games and I got a real live boy for a prize. I thought all they ever gave out were junkie watches and stuffed animals but "boy" was I wrong......
