You’ve probably read about or seen pictures of Japan’s famous Marine Catcher game, a UFO catcher filled with live lobsters ready for the taking. Here’s a video of it, which recently appeared on a Japanese TV show about amazing/strange places:

I love UFO catchers – but not this kind. One of the local bar/restaurants here has one like that with live lobsters in it. I just think it’s mean. I know they are there to be eaten, but it seems like a lot of extra torture for the poor things.
I haven’t been able to get an epsiode of Triva no Izumi since Saiyaman stopped uploading the bittorrents!
Do they still have them somewhere on the internet?!
There has been one in Nakano broadway for years now.
What’s so cruel? It’s food.
Lol, at the end was funny the kid holding the lobster and waving.
Lobsters are genetically modified cockroaches.
They are also delicious.
Cruel? No… they have the brain capacity of a cockroach.
Unfair? Yes… those cheapy plastic claws definitely don’t have the strength to hold a lobster out of water.
I think who voted yes also have the brain capacity of a cockroach…
damn would love to see a game like that here in canada (like that would ever happen).
A fresh lobster for 2ooYen is a inexpensive lunch. Also fresh. Yum Yum.
I think it’s sick, degenerate, cruel, inhumane,
just because people eat animals doesn’t mean those animals can be treated like objects. Its just sick.
Any plans for a Kobe Beef UFO catcher?
That is amazing. I want to play. I can’t stand the idea of lobster (they’re the cockroaches of the ocean), but playing the game might be fun.
Have seen couple of these in Taiwan too. And yea, I agree it’s a scam – wiggling heavy lobsters are impossible
