:: Why the article was created:

- The debate:

It was created to 'settle' a dispute between 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
