One question we can put to bed…

It’s a question we’ve all asked ourselves, “can 42 trained midgets take on a fully grown lion?

Well friends, I have the answer for you: NO FUCKING WAY.

In other news, I’m leaving Germany and moving to Cambodia.

Here’s the deal: some dude had a midget fighting league in Cambodia. Another dude told the first dude that one lion could take on all 42 of his midget battlers. Of course, the midget wrangler got all insulted and pissed and accepted the challenge. A date was set and a lion was shipped over for the express purpose of taking on the 42 midgets. Tickets sold out weeks in advance (duh…) and here’s the thing: the Cambodian Government allowed the fight to happen under the condition that they receive half the proceeds.

You know how when there’s a big boxing match that’s hyped forever, then the fight comes and it’s a shitty three round battle that wasn’t worth the money Oscar spent to put the show on? Well, I’m guessing that there was no such feeling of disappointment in the crowd after the lion v. midget fight got called after only 12 minutes. You see, in the span of those 12 eventful minutes, 28 of the midgets were killed and the other 14 suffered sever injuries including broken bones and lost limbs.

Awesome.

The article quote is the best: “Sihamoni [the midget owner guy…] 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.”

Sometimes third world shitholes rule.
