It's just another fake BBC page. (Go to BBC, search for midgets.)

BBC says it's fake
"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. "

I was just thinking... wow, 42 midgets died while I was getting married (also on the 30th). Good thing it's fake ?
