Just saw this at the bar. Hope it all goes well. I can't imagine how happy those guys are going to feel once they're out.

Between the temperature, the pooping in the corner and the lack of showers, I bet it smells real bad down there.

Apparently they are forming a legal coalition where any and all income as a result of being an "tenant" of the mine has to go through and then be divided amongst all members. They apparently decided that after this none of them should ever have to work again and they wanted to make sure it was fair for all members so even the most shy or personal of them will still benefit.

I'm sure I'd agree to such a situation if I were in it. I can only imagine the mental anguish they went through down there.

Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.

Am I the only one who thinks this whole thing is blown out of proportion? It's 33 people. More than that die in car crashes every day.

True, but how many of those in car crashed have paramedic fight to save them?

There are 7 billion people on the planet, it would actually be better off if no one was given live saving help.

So the "it's only 1, 10, 33, 1 000 000" argument is invalid.

And it is cool that they could do it.

I'm glad they are being rescued, that's a pretty crappy ordeal to go through. I'm not so thrilled about the ridiculous media coverage it's getting. I mean really, constant coverage on every cable news channel?

I liked them before they got out and became famous. Just another example of the underground.scene being abandoned after a bit of attention. Digg really should have fronted a campaign for them.

I wonder how long it took them to decide "it's not gay if it's underground"
