@AppleAppleApple:Yeah, it seems to me if the kid had a decent IQ at the beginning, he would know the difference between fantasy and reality and not huff gas. That said, the parents really should be locked up for neglect and general stupidity.

@Bigbadbikernerd: For a hearty lunch, fry up some chicken fingers in 5W30 Castrol SynthTec and serve with an array of dipping sauces made from brake fluid, antifreeze, and transmission fluid.
@Bigbadbikernerd: There was an episode of Trailer Park Boys where they were siphoning gas from cars to start up their own gas station, and so they needed to know what kind of fuel they were stealing. Ricky explained it thusly: Unleaded tastes a little tangy, supreme is kind of sour and diesel tastes pretty good.
Well I don't remember them using gasoline much in the old cartoon from the 80s. Transformers the movie did not even come out till 2007 which wasn't exactly 5 years ago. Where he got the idea Transformers used gasoline is a mystery. The parents are probably just looking for something to blame and their shitty parenting couldn't possibly be it.
I am not at all proud to admit this, but this story reminded me of something similar I did when growing up.
I would pretend to be Popeye (the sailor man) in my backyard (this consisted essentially of chasing my dog around... I guess I had a pretty good imagination). Anyway, Popeye got his strength from spinach, and like Popeye, I needed strength as well. In lieu of spinach (because it was gross), I would grab a handful of grass, shove it in my mouth, chew it up, and spit it out. This gave me the power to chase my dog even longer.
As far as I know, this didn't kill (many) braincells, but who knows?

Wait a minute, it's NOT from the Onion? Oh lord...
And might I add...
"Before that, he was a very smart boy."
No he wasn't.

Well son, they're cars, so obviously they run on gasoline
But papa, when they transform, where do the gas tanks go?
What is this, 20 questions? Go to bed

I'd say odds are good he got the idea from his parents.

sadly I don't have the time to re-film a quick version while drinking gasoline.
