^LOL!

 

was a bit of a bizarre media frenzy but I suppose televised tragedies don't often have a happy ending. I heard Japan sent them space trousers and NASA sent them space suits. An awful lot of media coverage for what essentially was 'Men come out of hole'

 

edit: nobody comment on the innuendo there, lets just walk away

 

And Apple have given them each an iPod, Oakley supplied their sunglasses and apparently a Greek mining company have offered to take them all on holiday...

 

Hat's off to the Chilean President too - I can't see David Cameron pulling a 24hr shift to wave a flag and bear-hug 33 miners.

I think the prez has massively boosted his popularity with this shenanigan, I'm sure Cameron would do it for the publicity, the PR savvy prick. In fact didn't he do a 36 hour campaignathon just before the elections?

somebody shop walking dicaprio getting out of one of the mine tube they used to get the chilis out.
