I Don't Even Know What to Call This

So, Nidhi sent me to this, apparently sent to her by another law student.

That's right: someone claimed that 42 midgets could beat a lion in a fight. The 42 midgets were willing to fight the lion. More than half of them died - which is entirely predicatable. And, perhaps worst of all, the fucking Cambodian government allowed this, as long as they got half the money.

What the fuck is wrong with the world?

I honestly have no idea how to react.

UPDATE:
From the comments. Apparently, the whole thing was fake. That's awesome, as far as i'm concerned, because now it's ok to make fun of the idea of 42 midgets fighting a lion. Additionally, i feel like a jackass for believeing such an unbelievable story. That says something about something, but i don't know what.

You know, 48 midgets, 18 dogs, and 7 eagles once took on a posse of orangutans. Vin Diesel won.

Did you know that Dwarves get really offended when you call them midgets. Apperently it's akin to using the n-word or the word spic. They prefer little person or Dwarf. Just thought you would like to know in an attempt to make your site more politically correct. Also, in Ann Arbor there is a coffee house called Beaner's.

As duly appointed representative of the Lilliputian people, we like to be called "Short Dawgs" or "Stumpies."

As far as the lion-fighting goes, my question is, how big were the midgets? I mean, if they were like 1 foot tall a piece, then sure, they shouldn't be fighting lions. But if they were like two or three feet each, and you stack them on one another's shoulders, maybe give them some scary masks... then you've got yourself a contest.

Shhh, its ok. The midgets (dwarves, little people, munchkins, elves, lilliputians, stumpies, etc.) did not really fight any lions. This page was created with one of those programs that lets you fake a news page. It was debunked on Snopes.com.
