Lion Mutilates 42 Midgets in Cambodian Ring-Fight

[Guns R Cool]

Spectators cheered as entire Cambodian Midget Fighting League squared off against African Lion


Tickets had been sold-out three weeks before the much anticipated fight, which took place in the city of Kâmpóng Chhnãng.

The fight was slated when an angry fan contested Yang Sihamoni, President of the CMFL, claiming that one lion could defeat his entire league of 42 fighters.

Sihamoni takes great pride in the league he helped create, as was conveyed in his recent advertising campaign for the CMFL that stated his midgets will "... take on anything; man, beast, or machine."

This campaign is believed to be what sparked the undisclosed fan to challenge the entire league to fight a lion; a challenge that Sihamoni readily accepted.

An African Lion (Panthera Leo) was shipped to centrally located Kâmpóng Chhnãng especially for the event, which took place last Saturday, April 30, 2005 in the city’s coliseum.

The Cambodian Government allowed the fight to take place, under the condition that they receive a 50% commission on each ticket sold, and that no cameras would be allowed in the arena.

The fight was called in only 12 minutes, after which 28 fighters were declared dead, while the other 14 suffered severe injuries including broken bones and lost limbs, rendering them unable to fight back.

Sihamoni was quoted before the fight stating that he felt since his fighters out-numbered the lion 42 to 1, that they “… could out-wit and out-muscle [it].”

Unfortunately, he was wrong.

Lion 42, Midgets 0

Answering the age-old question, "In a battle royal between 42 unarmed little people and an African lion, who would win?" a news story (http://urbanlegends.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http://66.102.7.104/search%3Fq=cache:dQJjRtnbgLkJ:lionvs40midgets.trip od.com/lionvsmidgets.htm%2Blionvs40midgets%26hl=en) purportedly issued by the BBC took the Blogosphere by storm this past week when it reported that just such a face-off took place in Cambodia on April 30, leaving all 42 midgets dead or injured.

Come to find out (I'm shocked... shocked!), the story isn't true, nor did it originate from BBC News.

"If you haven't already guessed, the article is fake," writes the actual, anonymous author of the piece in an after-the-fact disclaimer (http://urbanlegends.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http://66.102.7.104/search%3Fq=cache:gSPwlZDKnZMJ:lionvs40midgets.trip od.com/%2Blionvs40midgets%26hl=en). "It was created to 'settle' a dispute between a friend of mine [sic] in which he claimed that 40 weaponless midgets could defeat 1 lion in a hypothetical fight," the prankster explains. "The link to where the article was posted was not intended to spread outside of the initial group of guys in the argument, but as I was alerted it had been posted on collegehumor.com, fark.com, and several other web forums, it has spread far beyond that."

I am sorry and I am going to get flamed for this committ.........it was the funniest post I have ever seen.It made my night

[thumbelina]

I never said it was not funny... just not true! :wink:

[HealthyCommie]

Yeah, the slaughtering of 42 human beings really cracks me up. :icon_roll

[Guns R Cool]

It cracks me up.

[HealthyCommie]

That doesn't suprise me.

Why don't we line up your family and friends and put a bullet in their head. We'll see how funny you think it is.

[Wadi66]

HC the article was a fake.

[Guns R Cool]

I have never met these midgets, so I don't give a shit about them. On the other hand I know my family and so therfore would care. Besides, your a pacifist so quit talking about murdering people.

Besides, the article is fake.

[HealthyCommie]

I realize the article was fake. What concerned me is the responses of some cons who did not know it was fake. They thought it was a hoot. Go read GRC, deek, and Bushfans' initial response to the article.

[Guns R Cool]

Blah, Blah, blah. I remember you saying that it would be funny if Bush was assasinated. SO F You!

[redwinger13]

I knew the post was a fake.....

[redwinger13]

I think the Fox network should adopt a show like this post. Everybody loves the great animals shows FOX puts on ...i.e..Can a man beat a horse in a race?....Can a man eat more hot dogs than a bear?...Can 42 midgets wrestle a lion to death?....I smell ratings and I like it....

I didn't say it would be funny. I said I wouldn't care if it happened.

Thanks for proving my point.

[redwinger13]

i am glad you agree w/ me. It will be exciting watching midgets getting eaten and mauled alive. I can hardly wait.....I am going to send FOX an email right now........Just think about ratings.....it's all about ratings

[Guns R Cool]

If these midgets are stupid enough to fight a lion, then they deserve to die.

[Avid_Liberal_Hater]

That doesn't suprise me.

HC, are you always so uptight?

[HealthyCommie]

No. I honestly find no humor in 42 people being killed. It's not funny.

[Icer]

Yeah, the slaughtering of 42 human beings really cracks me up. :icon_roll
Geez HC. Rub the sand out of your vagina and actually have a sense of humor for once. No offense or anything but man. You never joke.

[HealthyCommie]

I joke plenty with my friends and family. I didn't come here to make jokes. But I honestly don't find that funny.

[redwinger13]

you need to take that stick out of your a$$ and have fun once in awhile.

[Avid_Liberal_Hater]

I didn't come here to make jokes.

That must be why you're a healthy communist.

I think the idea of 42 midgets thinking they can beat a lion and then getting eaten is pretty damn funny. I think it should be on pay-per-view.

[HealthyCommie]

That must be why you're a healthy communist.

Sense that does not make, young Skywalker.

No need to post something twice, if it's not funny the first time it's probably not going to be funny the 2nd time.
