World Farmer who killed 83,000 rats awarded prize

[The Helper]

Mokhairul Islam, 40, won a first prize of a colour television for killing some 83,450 rats in the past nine months in Gazipur district near the South Asian country's capital, Dhaka. He collected their tails for proof.

"I am so happy to get this honour," he said after receiving a 14-inch television and a certificate amid cheers at an official ceremony packed with 500 farmers and officials. "I had no idea that the government gives prizes for this."

"This is an exciting moment. I will continue to kill them," he vowed.

The award was also for his work to launch a month-long campaign nationwide to kill millions more, to protect crops and reduce the need for food imports.

"Please pray for me so that I can continue my mission, and teach and motivate others to join me," he told the audience before taking his prize, also a television.

The things they said made me lulz.

Anyone else immediately think of like a medieval scene with a knight or something that just got awarded a princess for killing the local dragon or monster?

No, I see a guy in rugged clothes running around with a shovel crushing rats, and then cutting off their tails and tying them to a length of string on their side.

They're not that rich there... and he doesn't go around with a shovel. He uses traps and poisons, some of which he designs himself...

I don't know, I would like to see some little Asian guy hunched over in a basement over a table making little rat terrorism plots.
