Maine Lobsters beware, Groveside hotspot Mr. Moe's is taking it to the tank with its new Lobster Zone claw machine. According to the Coconut Grove Grapevine the machine is a hit and has given away over 30 lobsters in the past 3 weeks. We're not sure exactly how it works, but it appears to be a live critter twist on the ever popular otherwise-worthless-crap-grab known as "The Claw Machine." For $2 bucks a try, participants hunt down a captive sea-roach with a joystick-operated jaws-of-death. If they catch one, the kitchen staff tosses it live in a boiling pot, which explains why the lobster pictured above was quoted making such a vulgar statement. What a sicko.

Now, enjoy this AMAZING video of a little kid teaching the old claw a lesson.
