Funny Things in China Part I

You see a lot of funny things in China. When possible, I try to take pictures for future sharing. This is the inaugural post in a series of funny things I've seen in China. Exhibit A:

If that looks like a claw machine in an arcade that is filled with packs of cigarettes instead of stuffed animals, that's because it is. I'm not 100% sure what demographic they were trying to allure here. Children don't smoke (or, more accurately, shouldn't, smoke), and adults would probably find it easier just to go to the store and buy a pack. Unless you're really a pro with these claw machines, it's probably also cheaper to acquire cigarettes in the traditional way.

Unfortunately, I did not see anybody attempt this game.
