Disturbing Video: Freakish Boy Bodybuilder Is Back (Why Aren’t His Parents In Jail?)

Disturbing Video: Freakish Boy Bodybuilder Is Back (Why Aren't His Parents In Jail?)

Unfortunately, the world’s youngest body builder is back, and it turns out, his parents filmed an even more disturbing video starring his terrifying six-pack. The victim’s name is Giuliano Stroe, a six-year-old resident of Florence, Italy, but at the time this video was shot, he was just four. Apparently (according to his Wikipedia page), last February, Giuliano broke the world record for air push-ups, which are just like normal push-ups, except that your feet can’t touch the ground. Which is exactly what every six-year-old should be focusing on with the drive of a professional athlete. (Who needs stupid toy fire trucks and coloring books?) Judging from this video, it’s obvious that Giuliano’s parents, shall we say, encourage him. (You can hear his dad counting reps in a few of the clips.) It’s safe to assume that Mr. Stroe’s parenting skills are questionable at best, and potentially harmful at worst.

Poll: Should Amazon Have Pulled The Pedophile’s Guide to Love and Pleasure: A Child-Lover’s Code of Conduct?

Poll: Should Amazon Have Pulled The Pedophile's Guide to Love and Pleasure: A Child-Lover's Code of Conduct?

By now you’ve heard about the hot water Amazon.com is in over this new self-published e-book: The Pedophile’s Guide to Love and Pleasure: A Child-lover’s Code of Conduct by Phillip R. Greaves II. During the initial onslaught of criticism and frenzied demands to remove the book from the online seller, Amazon resisted, saying that while they don’t condone criminal activity, they do support their customers’ rights to make their own purchasing decisions. And they also don’t support censorship. But late last night, after online shoppers took to Facebook and Twitter to organize a global boycott, Amazon caved to pressure and pulled the book from its Kindle shop.

We certainly don’t support pedophilia or any other type of criminal activity. But we’re not big fans of censorship, either.

Sorry! This poll is now closed.

Video: Little Boy Perfecting His Six-Pack Looks Like Child Abuse to Us

Video: Little Boy Perfecting His Six-Pack Looks Like Child Abuse to Us

So, does everything about this video seem wrong to anyone else? Really wrong? This kid can’t be any older than six or seven, and his parents (we’re assuming) are making him work out like a bodybuilder? After we saw this video of a six-year-old showing off his six-pack on our sister site, Crushable, we couldn’t help but feel completely disgusted. Kids are supposed to play games and run around, not lift weights and then flex for their parents’ camera, complete with a background soundtrack. More »
