With all the minors getting trapped these days it was really only a matter of time before a marketing exec saw an opportunity to shill MP3 players via the evening news. So reports the UK Independent:
As rescuers fought to reach the trapped miners, food and fresh water were delivered to the men through a small plastic pipe, along with clothes and entertainment including four iPod players.
The tie in with Dave Grohl has yet to yield a new Foo Fighter release but I can only assume its coming. Cheers to the Melbourne Herald which gave us the winning headline 'Foo for Thought.'
Foo Fighter frontman Dave Grohl has a sent a message of support to two Australian gold miners who have been stuck underground for days, inviting them for a beer once they are rescued.

How can you refuse two dudes who might die?
Although it could have very well been a Sears & Kenmore/Extreme Home Makeover type of embedded advertising I think this is more a case of some dude stuck in a mine who wants to rock out a little bit while he's stuck underground wondering if he's getting paid overtime for being down there.
