Invites Them to See “The Gun Show,” Maybe Some Cartoons Later

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.
