"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."
Hehe atleast the gov. got its cut.

On a more serious note, Asian countries are notorious for treating animals horribly so I congratulate the lion for getting its revenge.

Errr...old and.....
GRUMBLE OF THE WEEK
Easy winner this week. A steady stream of people complaining about a rogue story doing the rounds on the web about a lion and midgets fighting. All in the worst possible taste and the instigator had placed it on a news template that looked exactly like a BBC News one.
This isn't hard to do if you're web-savvy, and one of these comes to our attention every couple of weeks. Among the inquiries this week was one from a UK newspaper, asking if we had really published the story. The url is always a clue, of course, but some people don't notice.
Our lawyers are sometimes wary about us kicking up a fuss, but I'm afraid I always pull on my pompous hat on this stuff. Sharing our content is a very worthy aim, but using our templates for this dross is a step too far in my book. It seems to have gone from the original spoof page, but others are cropping up. I'll have to stay on the case.

let's see: a webpage that purports to be from the BBC yet redirects to a third domain without telling you. Wonder what tricky stuff might be hidden on the webpage?

It doesn't redirect, it just spoofs BBC...
I wasn't really concerned about its accuracy, I just thought it was funny!

In other news, in the first thread ghporter says that we wouldn't be good food because we're "too fat." Why would that not make us good food?! Wouldn't that make us better food?? Fat is rich in energy! That's what animals want! I mean, look at polar bears: they kill seals, skin them, and then just suck the fat off, leaving the meat! Meat is bad!

Wasn't this old story referenced in Nacho Libre? I never saw the movie but I thought the trailer showed some midgets in the ring dress like lions.

You suspected subterfuge, didn't you?
Ok, someone just shoot me now.
