How Many Midgets to Kill A Lion

[daveymck]

BBC (http://www.newturfers.com/mwf/attach/38/355838/BBCNEWSWorldLionMutilates42MidgetsinCambodianRing-Fight.htm)

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.

wow, i want the video!

i thought this was a post like the "how many 5-year olds?" question, ya know, totally hypothetical. crazy.

oh. i just read that no cameras were allowed.. is this really real then?

[DougOzzzz]

this can't be for real?

[HesseJam]

I have a hard time believing this to be real. But it's on BBC!

But when I just envision the fight (just think a smallish arena with 40 midgets and a lion gone wild, also that elephant vs. zoo worker video helps a bit) the outcome is not too surprising.

it's fake.. look at the address.. and where would u find 40 midgets who want to fight a lion for fun? /images/graemlins/smile.gif

awesome if it were true, I think there is only like a 5% chance of that tho


and to all the people that gleefully post the poo link everytime a story is repeated. Have you ever thought that maybe not everyone reads every single OOT post (most of them suck), and so can miss something as potentially cool as this, if its posted in a thread as dumb as "Hippo vs whatever"? Maybe you can come up with a pic for when someone posts something potentially cool, in an aotherwise boring/dumb thread, so the OP knows is safe/(smartest move) to make a new thread on it.

[daveymck]

If it was in Hippo vs somthing there is no way I will have seen it.

If you read the piece you dont even have to look at the URL to know its not normal BBC writing, is a decent mock up though.

thats my whole point

[Blarg]

Man, some people are gullible.

[cnfuzzd]

besides, it only takes one midget to kill a lion. Poison the midget, then, when the lion eats the midget, he dies. Easy, and just at the expense of one midget, and midgets are pretty worthless anyway.

Anyone seen the video of some full grown man being eaten by a lion ? It's real and it will seriously mess your mind up. I have a copy of it on my hard drive.

[Blarg]

Ewww...link it. And then explain how come it's being filmed and not interrupted.

yeah, what he said

[theredpill5]

I got it off P2P and it is seriously messed up. If it isn't real, it is one hell of a fake. How are you going to interrupt 3 full grown lions ? I guess you could shoot them with a gun but what if no one has a gun like was the case here it seems. You have to see this. I'll e-mail it to you if you'd like. It is 3.5 MB .

[theredpill5]

Wait, I'll see if I can upload it to rapidshare. I'll post the link here in a second.

[a500lbgorilla]

It's clearly fake.

Here's that url : http://www.newturfers.com/mwf/attach/38/355838/BBCNEWSWorldLionMutilates42MidgetsinCambodianRing-Fight.htm

Here's the url to a real story: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4561799.stm

[Blarg]

OK.

[jstnrgrs]

There are so many threads about this that I think we should replace the burning [censored] with a picture af midgets fighting a lion.
