Live Lobster Catcher

This from [1] Flickr via [2] Boing, Boing... essentially a lobster vending machine crossed with one of those "win a crappy prize" crane things you find at holiday resort amusement arcades.
Given that lobsters are kept in tanks like this at hundreds of restaurants all over the country, I can't work out if this is cruel or not. (Mind you, one does wonder how often the water is changed in this thing.) Apparently they're fairly common in places where lobsters proliferate - does Chorlton count?
Anyone out there know of other wierd vending machines we could consider?
