I Knew These Miners Were Full of Shit

I try to avoid throwing up multiple videos in one day, but I stumbled upon this and what was I supposed to do, not post it?

Look as most of you know I've been keeping a very close eye on these Chilean Miners ever since their purported "rescue."  Well I'll be filing this little bit of evidence in the "Full of Shit File."  My alerts are already raised any time these guys are seen in public (I believe they staged this whole thing to reap the benefits of the fame and fortune that come with a world wide televised rescue from certain death) so you can imagine my interest when I found out one of them was on Letterman recently.  Everything seem to be go according to script until the 4 minute mark.  After conducting the entire interview with a translator this guy breaks character and sings Elvis in perfect English, body gyrations and everything.  If I didn't know any better I'd swear this guy wasn't even Chilean, probably grew up in Tennessee working as an Elvis impersonator for theme parks and old ladies at nursing homes.  

I'm now more sure than ever that these guys pulled one over on the world, I'm not even mad, its brilliant, but I still have one question. How did they get the Chilean government to go along with this? What is in it for them? They're still leading a poor underdeveloped country, as far as I know this isn't raising tourism (though I think one week trips to live in that hole, if the hole really exists, would be an awesome adventure tourism draw), and they're not on the receiving end of any more national aid than before.  What gives? I just want to know what they're getting out of this.  Would someone please tell me?
