Yeah, because we all know there's nothing more entertaining than the misfortunes of others... Schadenfreude rules!Blastman said:I got a good laugh from that video many times during the day -- each time I thought about it.
Guden Oden said:This isn't funny, it's goddamn tragic. That man's a human wreck, ruined by alcohol. I can't laugh at something like that. IMO, anyone who sells drugs to an addict ought to be strung up and have the shit whipped out of them... (And have all their money taken away as well.)

Thanks Geeforcer, that puts it in perspective.A translation of what the men are actually saying belies the proffered explanation, however — although some of the men may certainly have been drinking, they aren't on the job, they aren't being asked about an accident, and nothing they say specifically identifies them as miners. The men shown in the clip have been engaged in a labor strike for several weeks, and the man in the dark cap is being questioned (by an off-screen interviewer) about why they've chosen to go out on strike:
Man: We were last paid on March 6th, and that was salary due to us from last November.
Interviewer: When did you last work?
Man: Last month, November, November 17.
Other man [offscreen]: Imagine waiting half a year for your salary.
Man: Yes.
Interviewer: Why did you decide to resort to such an extreme measure?
Man: Because they don't pay. They keep on telling lies.
Interviewer: Do you think this will help?
Man: I don't know
Other man: [offscreen]: I hope so.
Man: Yes, I hope so. We're counting on your help.

One can only hope that you too will see the humor in the situation when you've been in a car crash and lost both your legs and your arms, and some teens laugh their asses off as they see you being wheeled past them.
