If this isn’t the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen, I’m not sure what is.

The fight was called in only 12 minutes, after which 28 fighters were declared dead, while the other 14 suffered severe injuries including broken bones and lost limbs, rendering them unable to fight back.

How could someone possibly think this was a good idea. I’m especially curious about how somebody convinced the midgets to participate. Even more strange was the Cambodian government’s approval of the bout (or is that rout) in exchange for a commission.

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.

This of course turned out to be a spoof. See Got Spoofed?
