Egyptian Man Set to Fight Lion, gladiator style!!!
 

Given the current state of the economy, it comes as no surprise that many Egyptians are doing all that they can to revive international interest in their country. What is surprising, though, is that one man has somehow managed to convince himself - and a few others - that he can single-handedly ?boost tourism in Egypt? by fighting a full-grown African lion in direct hand-to-paw combat, in front of the Pyramids at Giza.

Inexplicably, al-Sayed al-Essawy, a 25-year-old from Daqahlia, has come to believe that ?the world will flock to see the Egyptian man who defeated a lion with his bare hands.?

The fight, or ?battle? as Essawy, prefers to call it, was announced two weeks ago, immediately igniting a firestorm of international protests and online petitions from individuals and animal rights organizations alike. The negative reaction surprised Essawy, prompting the self-proclaimed ?strongest man in the world? to admit to being ?confused and heart-broken.?

Nonetheless, Essawy insists that the fight is still on, even if he has to stage the battle in a secret location.

I hope the lion is very hungry and has al-Sayed al-Essawy for breakfast

Cool guy: "Essawy: I think it’s time we start celebrating genuine talent. For years we’ve been celebrating nothing but sex. I’ve taught children how to chew glass and pull cars with their teeth - the proof is on YouTube. I can raise a generation of super soldiers. I’ve jumped from ten-story buildings, I’ve hung myself many times and have been repeatedly run over. So, when I say I have the intellect and strength to take a lion down, people should take me seriously. Why isn’t anyone listening to me? I don’t know, but it’s very frustrating..."

the lion would own him :2 cents:

hope the lion eats him

they better give him a lion like this, otherwise i dont see a happy future for him
