Think about the children and ban Transformers!

Because it's really dangerous for them. (http://worstpreviews.com/headline.php?id=14320&count=0)

ShanghaiDaily is reporting that a 14-year-old boy has been drinking gasoline for five years to obtain "energy" and to become a "valiant fighter" - just as his idols "Bumble Bee" and "Optimus Prime" from "Transformers."

He first started stealing lighters to drink the fuel, but when the parents figured out what was happening, he started to drink gasoline from motorcycles, sometimes two or three bottles at a time.

"Since my son started to drink gas, his IQ has dropped sharply and now he can't figure out simple addition and subtraction," the father said.

The boy's worried parents finally took their son to the hospital where they were told the boy had a mental disorder and a strong "gasoline dependence."

"The gasoline contains a lot of lead, which can do harm to people's brains. To make thing even worse, the boy is in the physical development stage, and the lead has caused serious damage to his body," a doctor from the hospital said.

Forget rock music, forget D&D, forget violent video games -- Transformers is the new Satan.

Now more seriously, two or three bottles of gasolines at a time? Shouldn't he be simply dead now, rather than stupid? Story's kinda fishy.

This reminds me of the story about the woman that is suing the hotel in Egypt because her daughter is pregnant. She is suing because they admitted to letting men use the pool the girl used. :shock:

"The Little Spermatozoon That Could (survive who knows how long in a chlorinated pool, detect a suitable vagina, and swim to it)"? The kid's going to be Superman or something.

A woman is suing an Egyptian hotel claiming her daughter got pregnant — from using the swimming pool.

Magdalena Kwiatkowska's 13-year-old returned to Poland from their holiday expecting a baby.

Magdalena believes the teenager conceived from stray sperm after taking a dip in the hotel's mixed pool. She is now seeking compensation from the hotel.

A travel industry source said: "The mother is adamant that her daughter didn't meet any boys while she was there.

"She is determined to go ahead with the case."

:lol:

I'm telling you, the Universe already has a suitable cure for stupidity: extinction. We just need to step out of the way when people are determined to walk into traffic. Free will.

That mother needs an intervention with all her family coming together to batter reality into her: her daughter got slipped teh penis.

But she's pregnant - so that's reverse natural selection!

[The Winslow]

That's a 'zoon that drank gasoline.

[Pigs in Space]

Also - wouldn't you get really sick after drinking petrol?

Why would you go back for repeated doses?

[The Winslow]

Well, the story's obviously false. In the best case, translation errors changed sniffing gasoline to drinking gasoline. In the worst case, it's entirely fabricated.

But it amused me.

But it amused me.Google search brings up this one:

A nine-year-old Chinese boy has been left seriously ill after drinking gasoline in order to turn him into a Transformer-type robot.

Xiao Fang, from Xingwen in eastern China, reportedly drank the gas in secret, sipping it as he ate food in the belief that it could help him emulate the powers of robotic superheroes such as the Transformers.

However he has been left critically ill and has suffered serious nerve damage.

A doctor treating him said: "I am amazed he kept it down."

The boy's parents admitted their suspicions had been aroused by a strange smell.

"I wondered about the smell of petrol in our home," said Xiao Fang's father.
However, I can't find anything from a supposedly credible news source either.

[Hatter]

Please. If he was really into Transformers he'd know they don't drink gasoline. They eat energon. Kids these days.

[Dawnstar]

Both stories shown in this thread make me laugh. I mean I can not see a child being able to keep gasoline down without being very sick afterwards. And as for the lady saying her daughter got pregnant from swimming in a pool, she just needs to read about sperm I mean come on a swimming pool.

[Radu]

That's the problem in the first place-- cum in and on the swimming pool!
