Rumors of Cannibalism and Sex Amongst Chilean Miners

The Chilean miners' agreement to stay silent about their horrible experiences underground in the collasped mine is already broken. Some are willing spill the beans about the embarrassing and gruesome details if the price is right. Despite the severe shortage of food and sex, one unnamed miner adamantly denied that cannibalism and gay sex were ever considered, though they were still options had they been down there longer without discovery by the outside world.

The thirty-three miners, during their stay underground, made an unofficial pact regarding profits earned by recounting their experiences to the media. They agreed to split any money earned from their story evenly. However some are already regretting the pact and others are outright ignoring it. One of the miners, Jorge Galleguillos, claimed that the agreement wasn't legally binding and that he has to look out for number one. He didn't feel any comraderie for the other miners that were trapped with him. You can't really blame him for caring only about money.

Mario Sepulveda, one of the more crafty miners, used a more subtle tactic to break the pact by saying that he's coming out with the truth in order to quiet the rumors about their alleged cannibalism and sex during the 69 days trapped down there. However, he acknowledged that some people broke down and became hysterical, but repeated again and again that they never ever had any "Brokeback" sex or even thought about it. However, there's no doubt they each have at least masturbated alone. Without such relief, no one could remain sane for long.

As usual in these kind of dramatic events, government officials such as the current president of Chile and various publishers and media outlets have made plans to milk profits from the miners' retelling of their experiences. The president of Chile, Sebastian Pinera, is already scoring political points with his involvement and the media gained lots of viewers during the coverage of the event. Next thing to come are the books, videos, and interviews.
