Cambodian midgets

How did I miss this?

In a ring fight sanctioned by the Cambodian government, a imported African lion killed 28 Cambodian midgets and wounded fourteen others in 12 minutes before the fight was called. 

It's too colossally stupid even for the Darwin Awards.

UPDATE:  Is my face red?  How embarrassing that I fell for this and didn't check Snopes.    I guess I just thought the BBC to be an authoritative site and I didn't have to check.  Big lesson learned.
