Transformers Brain Damages Fan

A boy who was desperate to “power up” after watching “Transformers” started drinking gasoline in emulation of the mechanical heroes of the film, suffering permanent brain damage as a result.
The boy, a 14-year-old schoolboy living in China’s Sichuan area, apparently enjoyed good grades and was good with machines, perhaps explaining his fascination with Transformers.
His parents running a shop selling lighters, he found himself with ready access to lighter fluid, which he began covertly snuffing, in spite of being caught several times. Soon he progressed to filching gasoline in bottles and using the vapours to get high with.
All this apparently took its toll on his cognitive faculties, and soon he hatched upon a scheme based on his viewing of Transformers. Seeing that his mechanical heroes gained power from fuel, he too resolved to try this, and began stealing fuel in mineral water bottles, which he would drink habitually.
Eventually his theft came to light, and he was taken to see a doctor, where it was discovered that he could no longer perform simple sums and appeared to have developed a severe mental disability.
Doctors found him to have become addicted to gasoline, the lead content of which entered his body, causing brain damage. He was subsequently hospitalised in order to curb his addiction.
When asked why he imbibed the fuel, he said only “Because I wanted to power up.”

transformers dont drink gasoline...
Maybe a Chinese version of Transformers?
His mech name from mow on is Megadumb. Ore was it NoBrain? XD
Nice typo, Storm. I almost tought you're a dumb@$$ yourself ^_^
You just made a typo too^^
anyway, sad story
technically No they don't, instead they transform gasoline and energy in to energon...LOL
his Powerlevel is now over 9000 ^^ lol
In the recent series yeah they do. It's like their booze as demonstrayted by thecfact that they have the constructiconsdrinking it endlessly and their construction crew stereotyps. The animation is shit the story is well i havn't seen enough but theyy do crave gas.
gasoline did not cause brain damage. he was born stupid
At least he didn't pick up other bad habit as well like lighting up a smoke while he was addicted to gasoline.
His gasoline bill is over 9000 yuan.
Does this count for a Darwin Award? I mean he's not dead, but he's too dysfunctional to ever possibly have children.
If someone makes on more fucking "over 9000!" joke...
ITS OVER 9000!!!!
THIS...
USA 1 - 0 China
Is...
Failed Combo~!! XD
..not worth repeating.
You fail to see that the most major cause of his brain damage was lead poisoning... China still sells leaded gas... *There the reason for global warming*...
^This. Epic Comment.
*ROFLMFAO*
Yeah, they haven't been seen drinking any liquid in the movie. Maybe it's just an excuse to get high.
Excuse? Of course it's an excuse. Naturally, they dont want to admit that. It's nicer to blame "those Western influences".
like blaming RL rape on eroge...
Natural selection at it's finest.
the strong shall live... the retards and idiot addicts shall die.
I feel sorry for him. First he sniffs some to get high, this starts making him stupid, then he tries drinking some, now he's mentally retarded and starts thinking it's a great idea. Fcking vicious cicle of retardation.
The fact that he was caught several times indicates that the parents are at least partially to blame for this.
Dad: Son, why are you drinking our gasoline?
Son: Because i want to power up!
Dad: Do your best!
Mom: Dont forget to give him the high octane barrel too, honey.
@ Kortaku,
so umm where's the NOS comes into place? you know, the stuff they used in Fast and furious?
+1
Not really. The kid survived, but with permanent brain damage. In other words, humanity has lost a person with at least a small bit of intelligence and gained a person with a complete mental disability...quite the opposite effect of natural selection.
Presumably little genetic effect, however; any children's intelligence would be determined by his starting potential rather than what he did with it (assuming no Lamarckism), but due to that increased intelligence he's arguably less likely to pair and create children with a significant person, thus lessening the effect of his genes (specifically whichever ones may have been involved in susceptibility to this course of action) on the overall gene pool. This seems to resemble natural selection.
Lamarckism? Why are you talking about Lamarckism?
"Unnatural selection?"
Noone cares about the real science of this.
He did something stupid and it was a pity.
Maybe a candidate for a Darwin award? Yes, he's still alive but just give him time.
*Snicker*
He was already pretty stupid if he thought sniffing gasoline would power him up, so I say there's no real loss in brainpower. He couldn't understand simple commands, and now he can't do Math-big whup.
This is just another example of China failing-one of their dumbass kids does dumbass shit, so it HAS to be the U.S.' fault. Don't blame his stupid fucking parents who didn't beat some sense into him; blame American Cinema! Foreign devils be damned.
aren't we the whiny bitch on this one? Kids do dumb shit regardless of where they come from. I had heard about several kids sniffing gas when I was younger back in the states. Also no one is blaming americans or cinema. The simple answer to the question of "where did you think of that", was "i saw in in transformers and wanted to try it too". No where in the article does it state the family considers the film or film makers, nor anyone else besides their son to blame for the incident.
Find me the part where US is to blame, dipshit.
Oh, dear, haven't you heard about irony? -w-
"boys will be boys", and such...
Candidate for the Darwin Award spotted.
lol@Darwin awards :]
Nope, an honourable mention at most, unless the lead poisoning has also made him infertile.
In a few years we will be hearing of how their parents looking for a heir managed to get a girl impregnated with his semen.
Wouldn't be a surprise at all! XD
Maybe there should be a "Please do not try this at home kids" disclaimer before the movie starts or something.
Oh please.. along with the warnings that you can't put live animals in the microwave to dry them?
There will always be some exceptional idiots finding a way to inflict damage on themselves or others with pretty much anything.
But it'd be there to protect the creators and anyone such from the relatives of such imbeciles, obviously.
dumb....
wonder if the good grade statement were true in the first place
He's Chinese! Of course he has good grades!
he has good grades because all his classmates are dumb@$$es.
i don't know if I'm flattered or pissed about this typical stereotype remark... i'll go smoke some weed instead and go back to study for my exam next morning....
... I guess sarcasm really doesn't work on teh internets.
Well, there are different tipes of intelligence in this world. He may have had all his brains focused to intellectual works and the rest...oh, well...
That guy must be dumb to drink gasoline and drinking it makes him even dumber....Hopefully it doesnt become the new "crack".
It probably will now.
Transformers din drank any gas at all...
Gasoline.... hmm.... i should try some... smells good....
Geez... when did transformers actually drink gasoline?
The closest referrence would have been insecticons trying to suck oil from a tanker. Even then they never show it like them casually drink it just to 'power up' They consume energon to sustain their functions... not to 'power-up'
-__-
"A boy who was desperate to “power up” after watching “Transformers” emulated what he had seen in the film and started drinking gasoline, suffering permanent brain damage as a result."
Gammon he was stupid to begin with. It looks to me he already had brain damage.
maybe a chinese version of tranformes drink gas :D
pretty sure china doesn't have transformers - no chance they are going to show american cartoons there, so it must have been a cheap chinese version (seriously their animation is shit)... which clearly didn't consider the consequences of having their characters drink gas.
at any rate, dumbass kid

Google translate:
変形金剛 -> Kongo deformation
变形金刚 is Mandarin for Transforming Metal Thingy
Transformer written in Chinese = 変形金剛
HAHAHAHA Kongo deformation. Good old google translation.
Haha, just came back from China, they were showing 変形金剛2
“Because I wanted to power up.”
LMFAO !!!
why dont you find that cube kids, or perhaps you should try rubicube (´∀`)
This is just another example of bad parents looking for a scapegoat.
Double dumb: Transformers don't drink gas. You are not a Transformer, you are a retarded (literally,now) Chinese.
EPIC WIN!
"apparently enjoyed good grades and was good with machines"
Not good enough grades to know that drinking gasoline is a fucking idiotic thing to do. Kids these days are getting dumber by the second.
To be honest, he only came up with that idea after a long period of huffing fumes.
-Rare Item-
Gasoline:
Drinking causes a 7% chance to massive power-up.
Character suffers -15 Intelligence for each use.
Also 30% chance for addiction for causing 15% baseHP and INT decrease.
Description:
"Drink it! Transformers [don't] do it, why not you!? ...It smells good."
WD-40, anyone?
CHINESE, IDIOTS IN DISGUISE.
You'd be surprised at the number of Chinese with better qualification (which they legtimately acquired studying abroad) and more intelligent than you...
Oh and..."ANON, IDIOT IN DISGUISE"
*Fixed*
oh and..."MARINE-RX, IDIOT IN THE DISGUISE"(fag, go suck some balls to gain some, nigger sucker.)
Stupidity: check
Racism: check
<15 years old: check
IQ under 50: check
Yup, you're an adequately qualified Anon, no doubt.
Go suck some china cock.
That's true.
"Anon, idiot without disguise"
Fixed.
HAHAHAHAHA
Rascist much? Most Chinese are probably smarter than you. Oh and that includes me although I'm not from the Mainland. lrn2trollharder
God damn does it really matter what race you are? If you are smart then your smart. If you are retarded then you are retarded no matter what race you are.
Watching Transformers 2 already gives you brain damage so I see no harm being done here.
stupid… -___-; :facepalm:
Transformers suck.
ALL HAIL TRANSFORMERS!
ALL HAIL CHINA!
stupid... -___-;
Damn funny ahaahaha!!!!
he probably failed to understand the difference between a machine and what he is human.
For me it's to power up with a good sandwich,drink and some chocolate
and use WD-40 as cologne
14 years old lol, I think battery acid is better.
hey, have you heard? 2 teenages got arrested by the cops: one was drinking battery acid and the other was drinking gasoline. one was charged and the other couldn't handle the heat.
correction *2 teenagers
transformers run on energon not gas
ugh, if an idea THAT stupid can cross his mind, one wouldn't dismiss the possibility that he already had brain damage before the ordeal.
Must be the bad shanzhai translation. everyone knows that transformers run on energeon. He should have at least created an energeon processing plant first
rofl power up xDD
LMFAO
Retard is retard.
Deceptecons (sp), Deceiving retards since the dawn of time
He wished to transform and now rolling out in pain.
This is terrible, and I feel terrible for having such a huge grin.
epic win
wait, isn't his brain already damaged if he is dumb enough to drink gasoline?
Correct response.
I'm just waiting for the parents to do something even more dumb than their kid, such as suing the gasoline company for making such tempting hydrocarbons.
Interesting that it was actually the lead content in the fuel which caused the most damage (the more you know...).
someone should give this kid a big round of applause.
THIS MOVIE SHOULD BE BANNED INSTEAD OF EROGE!!!!!!!
think of the innocent children who got hurt by this movie/eroge.....yup this should be ban!! ban i say!!
it is cruel, but i cant help but lol
wow, if he watch superman. he would probably get a cape and jump off from the rooftop
not before wearing a panty first
A red one. With glow in the dark would be a plus.
some kid did that before.... a long long time ago...
Somebody just earned themselves a Darwin Award.
So much for that Asians are smart stereotype.
At least he's smart enough to make the conclusion that transformers "should" drink gasoline.
Personally,I don't know where this Chinese = Good grades shit came about.I know lots of stupid ass Chinese people who'll make anybody look smart by comparison.You just need to know where to look.
Natural selection at work.
At least he won't pass on his genes.
Same as loli ban ; just ban all gasoline in the world to save childrens (stupid idea inside).
Thus a new class of transformers was created called the retardobots.
Damn you, by the title I thought you meant that a mechanical fan had been damaged by a Transformer's brain... >_>
if you want to power up youre suppose to bend your knees and scream really loud and look as if your constipiated
Exactly, that's how we used to power up back in my days on the playground.:D
I have no idea what kids these days are thinking...
Don't forget the part when your hair grows long and turns yellow.
idiot
nothing special really, I live in Australia and all the fucking abos (aborigines) do it all the time
I believe his brain was damaged before already.
My first good laugh of the week but possibly my biggest laugh of the month.
This shit just deserves a big prize for AWESOME.
First of all it proves that good grades doesn't mean smart and it also proves that only retards could enjoy that piece of shit directed by Mr Bay.
Oh China, better start banning gasoline now before it becomes the new hype drug.
Totaly agree.
More proof that many parents are retarded
Who lets there kids drink gasoline >__>
A parent cant watch their kid 24/7. You probably cant say that there werent things that you did as a kid that you didnt keep secret from your parrents.
if you really care for your children, you can smell the gasoline AND take some action
Just think of him as the new Ralph (The Simpson).
"I like men now"
Lesson: You can not power up If you drink gasoline...
Instead, you get to be on the headlines of tabloids
and be the laughing stock of the week..
Lolol.
Ahh, China. Such a magical instance.
and we thank him for that
I wouldn't be surprised that they try and blame the U.S. for this haha
/facepalm
"GTA made me do it." all over again.
Wow.. Nice diet.. It's time those people get rid of lead and go for unleaded. :P
frankly, i thought leaded fuel was already banned everywhere...
but damn, this is crazy. his brain got fucked up by the lead content? most people would have died from the fuel itself, wouldn't they?
Transformers; Retard in disguise..
Proof that good grades =/= intelligence.
This kid deserves an honorable mention.
Natural Selection, hard at work! This kid has a Darwin Award in his future, I can see it!
Well his 14, if he is doing stupid things like that, there isn't much of a loss. I thought the kid was like 7 or something.. Seems like it was only a matter of time.
Haha, what a sucker :) Good job wasting your brains and life kid, keep it up.
......... -_- Major face-palm now commencing.
What's next, he's gonna GIVE A RANDOM TRUCK HIS FACE?
what a dumb child. *facepam*
Oh noes! we must protect the children from those abominations, someone must ban fictional robots because they incite children to drink gasoline!
Where is Agnes-chan!? where!?
somewhere drinking gasoline. now where did you think she get those banning loli ideas from anyway?
Let's face it: it's just an excuse. He was just addicted to it and used transformeers as an excuse. He could wel be saying Optimus Prime runs on crack
Last time I checked, Transformers don't drink gasoline as an energy drink.
But above all I lol'd. Literally.
they watched chinese subbed movie, and their subbed group is terrible....
who DOESN'T want to power up, amirite guis?
its weird that he has now mental disability when in fact i too am inhaling gasoline just to get myself on the get go and still remain "sane" <_< well "insane" if you look at a philosophical point of view but thats just me
First off the kid was high sniffing gasoline,Even I was educated on the subject of chemical hazard when I was 7 years old not to sniff gasoline or drink it. I feel bad for the kid now how has to pay the price of being sterotype as a Chinese Gas sniffer.
They should employ stupid people label care. Warning if your a kid or mental person drinking gasoline will cause brain damage.
but stupid people wont read it.
if they ARE stupid, they won't get any stupider than they are now by drinking the gasoline. for a very very slim chance, they might become smart after consumption. there is a fine line between genius and psycho
see unleaded is always better if he and china weren't so cheap he might be just very stupid
It seems we have a new Sand Ninja.
Man, any Transfan worth their salt knows you gotta freebase Energon to power up.
Wait, he was NOT brain damaged before he thought of drinking that?
hahaha.... dumb chinese XD
Typical Chinese: from gasoline to rugby to drugs...
>Typical brown-skinned Filipindio: from gasoline to rugby to drugs...
Fixed that one for you.
14 years old and drinking gas? He must have already had brain damage BEFORE hand. Which came first? the chicken or the egg?
that boy is already stupid to begin with >.>
"transformers brain damages fan"...what a misleading post title.
Maybe he was drinking the wrong stuff to power up. Haybe he needs "Lucky Star Oil"!
http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2009/05/18/lucky-star-engine-oil/
His response when asked why he did it is classic. Wow.
really? really?
*Facepalm*
Human stupidity is limitless nowadays...
I lol'd
eh? They drink gasoline?
And yet again, the games/movies are blamed for the actions of an idiot.
and eroge are blamed for the actions of rapist or loli
why is it taht whenever a kid does something idiotic..
they say hes was "such a bright/intelligent child"
DARWIN= 1, STUPID-KID= 0
HIS POWER WAS OVER NINE THOU--... and then it fell down to 0.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One shall Stand, One Shall Drink Gasoline I guess
...........
I am speechless
well, at least he didn't play P3 and shot himself in the head >.>
Instead of power up he got power down
But everybody know if you want to power up you must wear shabby costume,make a party of four,bully children,push old people,expose yourself and collect treasure form trash bin.
Hell the quickest way to power up is by near death experience,"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger"
Wow I thought we were done hearing about chinese and lead being in everything they make, but seriously everyone knows that if you really want to "power-up" then you get a red bull. But its official now,the kid is now a RETARDICON!
sad and fucked up
It's America's fault, they hate Chinese people
powa up yo
A top quality, standards-based web browser. ,
Pity he didn't pass his common sense class.
Nice try kid, but you're still no Cody Porter: Master of S&
aboriginals here in australia do the same with petrol its quite sad, they're called petrol-sniffers and they have been known to tie a tin of petrol on string and wear it around their neck to keep on inhaling it while walking
