It's about fucking time.
Having read Nick's blog I too decided to bitch about the miners in Tasmania finally being released from the earths grasps. Every fucking five mintues on all of the Australian television networks there was a flash to "Breaking News" which is more like "We already know from the first 300 times you told us news." I am glad that they are finally free, however I am more glad that I will not be subjected to watching news flashes every two seconds on the matter.
But wait.......
Now that they are free we get to watch interview after interview, and report after report on the issue. This is not over, believe me. This will get dragged on for months on end until the two men who were stuck in the mine get sick of hearing about it. We will hear about the court cases to sue the company for sending miners in there when it wasn't safe. This will go on until even Richard Carlton rolls over in his grave (was that appropriate).
Then they will release the mini series on the event, there will be merchandising, lunch boxes, T shirts, action figures, stickers. Play the x box game. People will make a killing out of this crap.
What has this world come to, will it never end.
I will say this, fuck going on big brother to gain your 15 minutes of fame. Go and jump down a fucking well and wait to be rescued. Thats how you become famous (Although you could be stuck in the well for longer than 3 months at the rate they are able to rescue people). These two guys are true aussie battlers all because they sat in a confined space for two weeks, good on em. If that isn't the true aussie spirit of sitting on your arse all day nothing is.
Well there I have said it. The miners are out (yay), and we can all get on with our lives.
