It's hard to feel sorry for idiots.

No, this guy is on all fours and moves close to the lion that way.

Really, it is.
I'd like to see what the wagering is like in southern Africa by now.

DemonicalWell the one I watched the guy had a beard, long hair in a pony tail, shorts, he was "armed" with toilet paper that he said he would throw to distract the lion if things got dicey.
Officially,
Shallow End of the Gene Pool, on the Demonical scale.

Probably the same one you saw. I didn't notice the toilet paper in the first viewing, but I saw he was about to throw something near the end.
Waste of good toilet paper, if you ask me. If the lion didn't fall for such a questionable ruse, the others could have used it to clean up what was left of the guy.

BwannaCrap. I watched that video for 4 minutes expecting the guy to end up like Timothy Treadwell and he didn't.
