   how many cupcakes has he eaten?

   That's actually revolting. Whoever allowed that child to get that size should be ashamed of themselves.

   What?? Is this kid for real? I sure hope there is some kinda medical issue and he hasn't actually eaten that many cupcakes!!

   @ CountryCritter

   It could me a medical/glandular problem

   This is just sad...first the parents let their kid get this big (sorry if there is a medical condition) and then they make a video of him and post it to Youtube so millions of people can see it and make fun of this poor little kid. Child Protective Agency needs to be alerted!

   This is the stuff of nightmares. David Lynch may have a role for that kid in one of his movies. As for him having a "medical/glandular" problem, all I can think of is Eric Cartman claiming "I'm not fat! I'm big-boned!"

   Based on the way his cheeks don't move like normal cheeks should, I'm thinking it's some kind of disease/allergy. (i.e. his face is swollen)

   I mean, he doesn't look like he's a slim kid to begin with, but I'm thinking he's got whatever he's got and his parents got him to sing the song because it's funny..

    Are you sure that's a child?! Looks more like a well made, life-like robot! It gives Sony, and their robo-dog, a run for their money.

11. Chris Oaxaca

    Is he real? Oh no....

12. Danielle0909
    October 22nd, 2008 at 3:45 pm

    Was he lip-syncing? Kinda looked like it.

13. Justin
    October 22nd, 2008 at 3:47 pm

    LOL @ childhood obesity!

    But yeah Alison is probably right, I think his cheeks are merely swollen from some sort of allergy or medical procedure. Watch the camera move down a bit. The kid's big, but he isn't that big.

    These were the types of kids I made fun of in school.

15. Tim Giachetti

    Wow, someone found my mini-me. I'm takin that boy to Sonny's for all ya can eat ribs!
    I think it was cute.

    The rest of you need to get over your "Holier than Thou" shit eating attitudes.

16. Oliver
    October 22nd, 2008 at 4:16 pm

    I think the cheeks are prosthetic.

17. Tommmy
    October 22nd, 2008 at 4:19 pm

    That was.... disturbing.

18. Leah King
    October 22nd, 2008 at 4:43 pm

    The kid has the classic look of someone who takes a lot of steroids for a medical condition. The really red cheeks are the give away.

19. Lindsey
    October 22nd, 2008 at 4:55 pm

    He may have eaten too many Cuppy cakes but I think he is just precious! Put a smile on my facE!

20. bryanhancock

    this is terrible, who would put their kid through this?

21. Ursula
    October 22nd, 2008 at 5:07 pm

    Wow. Some mean-spirited commenters, here. Like a fat little kid is the weirdest and most appalling thing ever. Come on, he's cute... Jeez!

    Yes, he is lip-syncing. The "Cuppy Cake" song has been around for years, long enough that the little girl who sang it has grown into an amazingly pretty young woman with her own Youtube acco8unt.

22. tiki187
    October 22nd, 2008 at 5:13 pm

    I hope his immense girth is the result of glandular abnormalities and not gross overindulgence. If the latter is the cause, his parents should be shot.

23. Vijay
    October 22nd, 2008 at 5:15 pm

    Chubby kid is too good. Especially his eyes expression at the end of the video.

24. fi

    his name is sam and he has a kidney problem. his meds make him gain weight. i think he's adorable!

25. CheeseDuck

    Ah. I did not know that.

26. Miss Curly

    I think he's pretty cute and well adjusted.

    hilariously cute and....disturbing.

    the snookums-snookums thing is entirely awesome.

    i wonder how old he is, 'cause he really does have good performance instinct.

29. ted
    October 22nd, 2008 at 7:46 pm

    Too cute, even if he is grossly obese. For some reason, it reminded of the lip-synching flap with the Chinese girls at the Olympics.

30. wit of a twit
    October 22nd, 2008 at 7:49 pm

    The voice doesn't sound authentic, the cheeks look fake. This has to be fake.

31. jodie
    October 22nd, 2008 at 8:19 pm

    i think he's adorable. what is with all the people jumping on every negative aspect and disecting this poor kid without knowing what's going on? even if his parents were somehow to blame - that shouldn't make HIM the object of ridicule. he's just a kid. to the adults that said nasty things about him - you really should be ashamed of yourselves. you know your kids pick up these things and will go on to make fun of others as well - not a nice trait. as a kid who was picked on in school - let me tell you, it's hell. why not just enjoy a cute little boy lip synching to the 'Cuppy Cake' song? why does it have to get all nasty?

32. Mattie
    October 22nd, 2008 at 8:35 pm

    Can you please add a message to this entry stating that this little boy is a cancer survivor who has survived a bone marrow transplant as well as TWO lung transplants?

    He and his family will appear on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition this Sunday, October 26th. They are the McCully family.

    This kid is darling and I truly feel for his plight. Look at what all of you said about him. I don't even WATCH Extreme Makeover and I found this information.

33. Mattie
    October 22nd, 2008 at 8:36 pm

    Also, he's lip syncing to the song. Why isn't there info to go with this video? So people can have a feeding frenzy?

34. Sars
    October 22nd, 2008 at 9:04 pm

    That kid is absolutely adorable, and so what if he isn't a Gerber baby or a Shirley Temple. It was entertaining and he and his family have a video that will make them smile for years. To me, that makes it 'effin rad!

35. biltmore
    October 22nd, 2008 at 9:13 pm

    Fat kid is fat. Can't say much more than that really.

36. Ali S.
    October 22nd, 2008 at 9:32 pm

    Oh come now. We don't know the kids history sure he maybe obese or even worse he could have a medical problem. I can't believe how some folks can get so vocal over this kid without having the full details.

37. Ali S.
    October 22nd, 2008 at 9:33 pm

    @ Mattie

    Thank you for providing the information!

38. Snappy
    October 22nd, 2008 at 9:41 pm

    Yes, the steroids he is taking for his health problems cause weight gain, including unusual deposits of fat on the face.

39. Serenity-Later
    October 22nd, 2008 at 10:11 pm

    Awww! I loved it!!! I'm with the lovers on this one. The haters need to get their self-righteous, sanctimonious heads out of their a@#$, and remember that their crap smells as bad as anyone elses! He's a kid for cryin' out loud! Why shouldn't he have his moment to shine or have a fun time? You people who like cutting a child down just cos you don't like the look of him need to be hung & quartered, period. It's a good thing for him that he can explain appearance by virtue (?) of being sick...geez!!

40. jodie
    October 22nd, 2008 at 11:06 pm

    it's pretty sad that we need to have 'extra info' added explaining that this child has medical issues - just so people won't rip him to shreds. do you really require a medical reason to prevent you from making fun of a child? why do so many go right for the insults? maybe you'd think twice if your child had something that set him/her apart from other children. it's really sickening how people have jumped on this poor kid - for just having fun, being himself and making a cute video.

41. Aleki
    October 22nd, 2008 at 11:28 pm

    Wow... I had no idea this would be so volatile. I just thought the little kid was adorable (especially his little eyebrow dance at the end). I think jodie summed it well. I guess I should have known better, with the past comments people make on this site.

    Thanks Mattie for clarifying. I'll be sure to do a little more research next time as a preemptive strike for all the negative people out there.

    Everyone loves to be tough on the internets.

    I loved his eyebrow dance.

    Simultaneously terrifying and hilarious. I shall have nightmares.

45. DeLuxe
    October 23rd, 2008 at 3:44 am

    Only In America! Poor, poor boy...
    Who is sicker, his parents who put him on the internet,or the boy himself, who suffers from some terrible diseases?
    The bright side is he probably won't live long enough to develop a mental trauma aubout this clip.

46. Pol x
    October 23rd, 2008 at 4:07 am

    I thought it was very cute indeed.

    But he'll be dead by the time he's 30 if he maintains that sort of weight.

    Which is significantly less cute.

47. Tim Giachetti
    October 23rd, 2008 at 4:31 am

    Thank you Mattie.
    I'll say it again, this was very cute.
    and biltmore, go suck an egg you twat.

48. D Bozko
    October 23rd, 2008 at 7:24 am

    I hope a follow up is done so we can all know what his medical condition is because it's obvious that his look isn't natural. To all you haters...you're pathetic.

    By the way, Mattie is wrong about his family being on EXTREME MAKEOVER: HOME ADDITION this week. Check it out at ABC.com. It's about a ten year old girl with leukemia.

49. Peej
    October 23rd, 2008 at 9:06 am

    This isn't fake. It looks like the kid is on a form of steroids, and making a broad guess based upon his hair, perhaps it is a treatment associated with cancer. Unfortunately, I have seen this repeatedly first hand.

50. Peej
    October 23rd, 2008 at 9:06 am

    Errr, what Bozko said. (I didn't read all the comments. I lose.)

51. MaxVan
    October 23rd, 2008 at 9:12 am

    Wow. Y'all have some messed up attitudes....Not that I don't, I'm just sayin'.
    On the one hand, if the kid is "just" fat, his parents are horrifying monsters, eh? But, if the kid is sick, then comments about him, or laughing at him atempting to be funny are wrong, eh?
    I might be messed up, but I'm glad I'm not y'all.
    (Going to make fun of my dialect, now? I thought you might)

52. CountryCritter
    October 23rd, 2008 at 9:51 am

    Just wanted to comment again. Some people take things at face value and don't do a ton of research before making a simple comment on an internet message board. Give me a break! Obese children are NOT healthy! Making fun of them is not right either but to ignorantly look the other way is just as wrong.

    Personally, I didn't think the song was cute at all. I didn't do research on this child. All I saw was a morbidly obese child lipsynching to a song comparing someone he cares about to sugary junk food. Honestly I don't care if medications are making him reach this unhealthy weight. Obesity causes death in children. PERIOD.

    I apoligize moderator Alex for my lengthy post. I just wanted to weigh in on the people that are shocked at this child's size.

53. LoriAnne
    October 23rd, 2008 at 10:32 am

    i found this info online about this lil boy! i think people should be ashamed of themselves making fun of a innocent lil boy, regardless if he has medical issues or not! he is just a lil boy!

    At only 10 years old, Job McCully is an inspiration to his small town, surviving leukemia, a bone marrow and double lung transplant. After years spent in and out of the hospital Job was finally able to go home in March. However, because of his health, the family wasn't able to return to their sinking, moldy and dilapidated home. Ty and the team help bring the house up to code so Job and his family will be able to return home.

54. red
    October 23rd, 2008 at 10:39 am

    Those big red cheeks (and general fatness) are a side effect of anti-rejection drugs for transplant patients.

    Definitely not regular weight gain though. Blindingly obvious on that note.

    Maybe that could be added to the posting to educate the violent in here?

55. mutterhals
    October 23rd, 2008 at 11:43 am

    I don't think sick children (be they morbidly obese or afflicted with some other ailment) should be exploited by their fame-seeking parents. I am more disgusted by that than commenters expressing dismay about this child's disturbing appearance.

56. renderanything
    October 23rd, 2008 at 12:06 pm

    I agree with Vijay. I thought the eyebrow bit really sold the performance.

57. Dianne
    October 23rd, 2008 at 6:22 pm

    Yes, he's overweight...so are a lot of people. We're not all size 8 and perfect. It isn't a perfect world. He's a sweet little boy who obviously likes to sing.

58. Mattie

    http://www.katv.com/news/stories/1207/480158_video.html?ref=newsstory

    There's a news story about Job McCully. Poohaps you can do a follow-up to this to give some info about Job? His story is actually quite uplifting, but sad.

59. ted
    October 23rd, 2008 at 10:08 pm

    Wow, a lot of over-reaction: "educate the violent"?

    Look, the kid is singing "you're my cupcake, honeybun..."

    Maybe if he was singing a non-food-related song, it wouldn't lend to the impression that this kid got fat from overeating.

    As I said, it was cute, but the kid is grossly obese, and putting this on YouTube invites criticism. It's like they're flaunting his obesity. That's odd.

    this is creepy

61. Alex
    October 24th, 2008 at 12:04 pm

    I updated the post. Job McCully's chubbiness isn't because of poor eating habit - it's the side effects of medication.

62. kelly
    October 24th, 2008 at 9:25 pm

    he is so cute! leave him alone. i love it. good job!

63. Tina McCully
    October 25th, 2008 at 2:48 pm

    Hey all. I am Job's mom and although I can see the resemblance and understand how this child is getting confused with Job (especially compared to his "Rocket" video posted on http://www.jobs-miracle.com). This is not Job. You can watch Job's story on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition Sunday night (10/26/08) at 8/7c on ABC.

64. Pingo Wellman
    October 26th, 2008 at 5:51 am

    Hey guys, you should change this post. The boy doing the playback is evidently not Job. You can easily tell by looking into the webpage you are linking to.
    Hey, even his mother has commented here and confirmed it isn't him.
    Hi Tina! Let me tell you that you are one great example of a good and loving mother. Best wishes for you and Job.

    YOu guys are all mean this poor child has a kidney problem and he is on steroids that is why his cheeks are big. Instead of being rude and mean pray for him so they can find treatment for his disorder. SHame on you, really.

66. Martha
    December 19th, 2008 at 8:59 pm

    You idiots! You don't realize what you've just said. He had a rare kidney disease. He just died you morons! Have some respect and sympathy.

67. Joni
    February 12th, 2009 at 2:54 am

    He has severe kidney issues and some other kind of medical issues. I cant remember all the problems he has. When this was recorded he was on a bunch of steroids.

68. Very Upset
    February 22nd, 2009 at 10:25 pm

    I really just want to punch some of you people! You did good Job McCully!!! You're an amazing little boy and that video was very cute! I'd like you to know you helped me with my project for anat and phys and I got an A all thanks to you!!!!!

69. zech
    March 5th, 2009 at 8:11 pm

    The kid's name is Sam and hes 9 last time i checked he has a medical problem that makes his body attack his kidney the steroids he takes make him get to live but at the cost of being overweight and he is average weight for a 9 year old hes just really short which makes him look really fat 90% of the kids who have this disease need the steroids to live all the people making fun of him actually learn before saying hes fat go to youtube and you'll find him on a doctor show

70. Daisy
    July 3rd, 2009 at 9:05 am

73. getalife
    October 21st, 2009 at 12:42 am

    YOU ALL ARE STUPID. he is not chubby, obese, fat, nor has he eaten too many cupcakes. This adorable 9 year old boy has a kidney disease which could kill him. The steroids that he is using causes his growth to be stunted however he weighs what an average 9 year old should weigh. Everyone that made those rude comments... GROW UP.

74. Gloze
    October 26th, 2009 at 10:09 pm

    He has kidney desiese, and has to take steriods. Thats why his cheeks are 'chubby'.

75. Heather
    October 27th, 2009 at 12:42 am

    you know- that little boy cant help his size. he has a kidney disease and the steroids he has to take for it made him chubby. he cant help it. he was born with that disease. i honestly dont know how you people could be so heartless. no- its not his parents fault that he is chubby.

PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT
