Lion Mutilates 42 Midgets in Cambodian Ring-Fight An African Lion much like this is responsible for the death of 28 Cambodian Midgets 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.
OMG, lul wut? How the hell can you think a group of midgets can stand a chance against one lion. These guys are seriously retarded, but still; lol. 100 feathers is not > 1 pound. Same principle applies here.
Holy crap, thats sad. Hes all like "Yeah, just out wit the 1 ton lion, and then jump pn it and somehow win. with no weapons..." Did they actually think they could win?
This is a great story, and while I love seeing stupid humans getting their just desserts, unfortunately its fake. From snopes.com:
Well, I had a feeling it wasn't real just from the thread title, but that's still a horrifying thought.
It would only be horrifying if the lion died. I have no sympathy for the human race and all the stupid **** we attempt. I half expect to see something like this on Jackass...
Whats odd is that this sounds so improbable that it could possibly be true. The human race is dumb, and people die because of it. Thanks for clearing things up Squid. Internet rumors are very funny. I remember that zombie one too. My friend thought it was legit and freaked out, lol.
