I had seen this before (on this forum perhaps?) and I thought it made sense ::). Many restaurants have a lobster fishtank already so now they can make a quick buck (2 even) off people who are waiting for their table.

The next step will be to put fish in a claw machine tank like that, but the fish game would only cost a quarter because noone would ever win.

I know, I bet all of the people at PETA are pissed about this saying things like, "Curses! This is cruel to animals you evil oppressor of defenseless animals! Prepare to meet my hoard of brainwashed PETA zombie protestors nad terrorists!  We will foil your cruelty and possibly kill you!" but they are secretly thinking, "Mmmm... Lobster..."

Only if those PETA people have their way.  The Ewoks on the forest moon of endor were in with PETA. They were going to cook Han, Chewie, and Luke to show them how animals felt.  Leia was spared because she looked like Alanis Morrisette.
