Oklahoma boy puts quarter in vending machine, gets Nazi ring

An Oklahoma mother is asking why her 4-year-old son received a ring with a Nazi symbol this week from a surprise vending machine for children in a Tulsa store.

Leona Kelley told Tulsa broadcaster KOKI-TV the gold-colored plastic ring with an eagle clutching a swastika in its talons came from a 25-cent vending machine at a Family Dollar store on Wednesday.

"We actually bought four things, and three of them were little dinosaurs or something," Kelley told the broadcaster. "And on the fourth one, it so happened this fell out."

Kelley was not immediately available for comment. In the television interview, she said she had asked the store to explain.

Family Dollar told the broadcaster the machine is stocked by an outside supplier, but would not identify the supplier. The store did not respond to calls seeking comment.

"It was made just like the other rings they've got in there," Kelley said. "You can bend it up and shove it in here. So it was made for a vending machine. I just don't understand why."

Somewhere in the world a young neo-Nazi child is wondering why they got a Hello Kitty ring.


Being serious: Would you get upset about this?

The vending machine operator probably got it from someplace like this:

I wouldn't get upset. Seems like a pretty silly thing to get upset about, but I would let the company know that they're distributing what has been seen as nazi propaganda for the last century.

 

[WHO IS SERAFIN]

Just make it a teaching moment for the kid to understand why that symbol on the ring is from evil and give the child a history lesson.

Weird. Time to find out what else is on those rings, probably.

And, I suppose, a quick history lesson to justify taking it from the kid.
