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.”
Via Heaven.

"transformers brain damages fan"...what a misleading post title.
that boy is already stupid to begin with >.>
His response when asked why he did it is classic. Wow.
really? really?
*Facepalm*
14 years old and drinking gas? He must have already had brain damage BEFORE hand. Which came first? the chicken or the egg?
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
......... -_- Major face-palm now commencing.
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.
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....
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.
It seems we have a new Sand Ninja.
see unleaded is always better if he and china weren't so cheap he might be just very stupid
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
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
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"
powa up yo
Transformers FAN damages BRAIN.
14?! that's way to old to be doing stupid crap like that, he should be taken from his parents, they are disgustinly neglectful.
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
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&
well, at least he didn't play P3 and shot himself in the head >.>
why is it taht whenever a kid does something idiotic..
they say hes was "such a bright/intelligent child"
DARWIN= 1, STUPID-KID= 0
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
Human stupidity is limitless nowadays...
I lol'd
eh? They drink gasoline?
One shall Stand, One Shall Drink Gasoline I guess
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
...........
I am speechless
