Ripped Five Year Old Impresses Guinness Book of World Records
Invites Them to See “The Gun Show,” Maybe Some Cartoons Afterward
Hey! Remember how Balloon Boy’s dad turned out to be an exploitative dooshface? And so are Jon and Kate? And Octomom? Well, you’ll stop thinking about those losers in just a second!
Giuliano Stroe, AGE THIS MANY (that’s five fingers) of Romania has become famous for his bodybuilding skillz. The boy’s dad, Iuliano Stroe, says that the kid’s been going with him to the gym since he was born, and has been training since he was THIS MANY (that’s two fingers.)
One could say that this is just how this particular father and son have “bonded,” and that it’s nice that they have shared interests. That’s if one weren’t willing to stop and consider questioning the motives of a father who would start a toddler on a rigorous weight-training schedule, and then put him in a bunch of competitions. But no worries! Papa Stroe says that “if he gets tired, we go and play.” Which is weird, because when I was five, I got tired FROM playing! This kid is just going and going all the time! People would pay good money to have that kind of energy! And the ability to pack on that kind of muscle! If only there were some kind of injection…
Oh.

payter says:This angers me. If this kid gets hurt, he could stunt his growth. His bones are still growing. This is why there are age limits on kids working out in gyms.
Except in Romania? Or going to the gym = going to the basement. Whatever. This is wrong.

PizzaGirl says:This is like those toddler beauty pageants where the little 5 year old girls wear suggestive clothes and do sexy dances. It’s just wrong.

Mae says:pajibers? where? i don’t smell any new scents.
… i just decided i don’t like the word “scent.” it’s going in the ‘do not open’ box with ‘panties’, ‘moist’ and ‘period.’

Sar says:It’s because of “scintillating” right? Which is a word old people use.
