Literally no-one blows out candles on a cake like Mitt Romney does
It is no wonder that Americans view one-time US presidential hopeful Mitt Romney as a little bit unusual and hard to relate to.
A bit like some people over here view Ed Miliband, say, or pretty much any politician you can think of right now.
Remember the time he insisted on ironing his clothes while he was still wearing them?
Every time Mitt Romney trends I feel like I’m morally obligated to share this video of him ironing his clothes while they are still on his body pic.twitter.com/JFjn6Zk3OF

Exactly. But even that was kind of ordinary compared to the way he blows out candles on a cake. Seriously. Check this out.
This is the most bizarre technique for blowing out birthday candles that I’ve ever witnessed. Mitt Romney is a deeply weird dude. pic.twitter.com/kLGuJawDpv

Totally blown away by that. And these people were too.
In a movie this is how you’d learn that the person you thought was your friend was actually an alien who’d invaded your friend’s body.

Basement office. Drop ceiling. No art on the walls. "Cake" really just Stonehenged Twinkies. Is he being held hostage? Is this some role-playing thing that got out of hand?

The one thing the internet doesn’t get enough credit for us giving us immediate access to the unsettling mannerisms of the rich and famous. We used to have to wait years until, like, Robert Cato wrote about LBJ’s fingernail-trimming techniques or whatever.

I thought I would be prepared for whatever happened, and I was absolutely not prepared for this

He’s maximizing his wish-to-cake ratio. It’s just good math.

I wish there had been like, 20 more candles on that cake.

Except this person, and quite a lot of people, saw the upside. Health and safety and all that…
Gotta say, though. I admire avoiding the whole "spit all over the cake" technique.

Works for me. No spit on the cake.
