.Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has carried the torch from his predecessor Hugo Chavez with zeal, regularly denouncing the politics and culture of the United States. It comes as little surprise, then, that Maduro would have a peculiar explanation of what lies at the root of violence in Venezuela:

Spiderman.

Maduro made his bizarre claim in the Bolivian daily La Opinión on Wednesday, telling the newspaper he saw a distinct correlation between youth violence and superhero idolization, a connection he said contributed to a "factory of antivalues."

"This kid, at 14 years old, carries a 9mm with a mind filled by thousands of hours of shows where people are killed," the Bolivarian leader told the paper, according to a HuffPost translation.

The Venezuelan president said he made the connection this week after watching the film Spiderman 3 with his wife:

That's the trouble, from the beginning until the end there are more and more dead. And that's one of the series small children love most... because it's attractive, it's from comics that are attractive, the figure, the colors and movements... so much so that we finished watching it at four in the morning.

1. Calling Maduro 'dumb as a box of

rocks' is an insult to rocks.
