The article you're most likely expecting to read can be found here.

If you haven't already guessed, the article is fake.

:: Why the article was created:

- The debate:

It was created to 'settle' a dispute betwen 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 me (lionvs40midgets@yahoo.com) what you think the outcome between a 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
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)
That's pretty much it. Simply email 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 recieve more than 25 responses.

Once again, sorry for the confusion.
