I had to post this story. :icon_bigg
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.

Did those midgets have any type of weapon?
If they didn't, what a bunch of stupid genetic disasters, good riddance to them.

Why do I remember a post resembling this on that was posted in the Off Topic forum? The guy who posted it said he made it up... Unless I'm really tired or something I remember this. Ooooohhhh, deja vu! Weird!

How do you know it is fake?
It says BBC, it has to be true.
Edit Ah, I see. Fake website.

This was posted already in a different thread that had proved it was fake but i can't find it so here is the story behind this story. http://lionvs40midgets.uk-directory.com/
The article you're most likely expecting to read can be found here (http://lionvs40midgets.uk-directory.com/lionvsmidgets.htm).
If you haven't already guessed, the article is fake.

:: Why the article was created:
- The debate:
It was created to 'settle' a dispute between a friend of mine in which he claimed that 40 weaponless midgets could defeat 1 lion in a hypothetical fight. Many of my other friends and I tried to convince him that the lion would definitely win, but he would not back down from his argument. After seeing another fake article posing as BBC about 'zombism' in Cambodia, I got the idea to make this fake news article to try and convince him for the final time. (Please 'Join the debate' at the bottom to express your opinion.)
- How it spread:
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 honestly don't know how it spread, since the initial link was only (to my knowledge) posted occasionally on my AIM away message, along with a friend of mine's AIM info last week. The article was originally posted the (very early) morning of Wednesday, May 3rd, and from what I've seen, the earliest post of it was on fark.com on Saturday, May 7th at 12:28 AM. Once again, the article was never intended to spread over the internet as it did.
- The outcome:
The argument was in fact settled once he read and believed the article, but to his credit it was posted to appear to be totally legit from the BBC (no bbc.co.fake at the top and no ads). He eventually discovered it was a fake article and admitted he had been fooled.... bigtime, and has since retaken the side of the midgets.
:: Why this page was created:
As soon as I was alerted the article had spread to the public, I created this 'disclaimer' page explaining the article's invalidity. This was not only to hopefully protect myself from the BBC or Cambodian Midget Fighting League (if one exists), but to also protect the reputability of the BBC and Cambodia itself, since the article isn't exactly politically correct and may offend some readers. I apologize to anyone or any groups that may have been offended by the article, and hope that they will understand it was all in good fun.
:: Join the 'debate':
If you took the time to read the article (or even if you didn't), please email (lionvs40midgets@yahoo.com) me (lionvs40midgets@yahoo.com) what you think the outcome of a hypothetical fight between 40 midgets and 1 lion would be. Here are the terms of the fight:
Fight takes place between 1 full-grown, male African lion and 40 midgets
The midgets are unarmed (no guns, baseball bats, tasers, etc.)
The fight takes place in a closed arena (a racquetball court for example)
Fight is over when either a) the lion is dead, or b) all 40 midgets are dead or unable to fight back (severely wounded)
Lion is highly agitated, midgets know there's no way out until the lion is dead (they have to fight)
The midgets are not specially trained to fight (not like the Cambodian fighting ones in the article) but are in average physical and mental health
The midgets are given 5 minutes before the fight to prepare/strategize
Any other conditions in the fight you may decide to give whoever you want an advantage. Simply email (lionvs40midgets@yahoo.com) me who you think the victor would be, and if you'd like, provide an explanation why. I'll probably post the results here once (if) I receive more than 25 responses.
Once again, sorry for the confusion.

damn i was relly hoping this was true. what could be funnier than a lion chomping on midgets?

No way, the midgets don't have enough reach. None of them could get a good kick in. The only chance they would have is while the lion is attacking one for them all to jump on it and start wailing on it.
Lion wins, with out even a bruise.
Now here is one I've always wondered about: Arnold Swartzenfdanfsdn in his prime vs. a mob of 100 10 year olds, all unarmed.
It sounded to funny to be reel
