Thank you for the pic. For a moment there I thought it was one of my toddlers...

It's worthy of a new Charlie and the Chocolate Factory character:
Toddler: Look at me, I'm a stuffed animal!
Wonka: No, please, don't...

dude, have you ever seen kids faces at those machines? They get the same look as the slotjockeys in Vegas. It's all indoctrination by the gaming industry, I tell you.

He went home safe — but without a stuffed Sponge Bob.

Shame. You'd think they'd give him a freebie, if only in a bid to fend off the inevitable lawsuit...

Man there are days when I'd give anything to be an emergency worker. Can you imagine the sheer joy of getting that call and rushing in there and saying "Good god, does anyone have a quarter? Bill you do this, you've got the steadiest hands, try and get the claws into his ears for leverage." Then you could laugh and laugh for a minute before you busted the back of the machine off with a crow bar and go off cackling to your truck.

If you want, I could get my big toe stuck in the faucet of the men's room sink and you could come rescue me.

Do it, do it. I'll warm up the jaws of life.

You people make me giggle.

I wish kids really did come in vending machines, though. It would save us ladies so much physical discomfort.

That sounds great -- as long as us fellas still get to put our coins in the slot from time to time.

This kid's going to grow up to be Homer Simpson.

I could have sworn there was a picture like this on Snopes once....

Love the look on his face. "Waddya mean I gotta come out? I told you I could get a Sponge Bob!"

Another year, another toddler stuck in a machine.

I'm sure there was another one in 2005, but I can't find it.
