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.

To my disappointment, the story was a hoax.

Hoaxes serve a purpose, a valuable one. Good hoaxes are designed to be
discovered - and to disappoint - maybe for a good reason. Sometimes
it's good to know that not everything is real a hundred percent of the
time. The disappointment only lasts a little while. The sting of
being hoaxed has a pleasant burn to it.

How about a publication like World Weekly News that publishes nothing
but outlandish reports. It's boring to sit around all day reading
phony news, but sometimes the writers can get cute with it. Like a few
years back they had a report on the sport of 'dwarf-tossing', along
with a picture of the guy tossing a dwarf to win the
championship........ This same picture appeared in the prior week's
publication. The writer is defending last week's report. He can't
believe the number of people who are challenging the tosser's
legitimacy, saying he deserves no recognition. The writer demands to
know how they could possible say such a thing when the accompanying
photo clearly shows the tosser's foot never crossed the line.........
See, I liked that, the way the writer surprised me and took a different
direction. I give the guy credit. On the other hand, maybe I misread
the article and just made a pleasant mistake.
