Yonni Barrios A Chilean Miner Rescued Mistress vs Marta Salinas - The Chilean Mine rescue love triangle. Jon Stewart mocks the Chile miner rescue on his popular "The Daily Show." You have to admit that over the course of the last 24 to 48 hours, the media frenzy surrounding the Chilean miner rescue has bee a big hyperbole. The over-exaggeration was full of live streams, and even soap-operatic renditions of the 33 miners' life. Did you know that one of the miners had a wife AND a girlfriend? At that they both showed up at the rescue site? This is a life detail we could do without, although you need to add drama to an otherwise mundane story to peak interest.

All the miners have been safely rescued. Below is a video chronicling the love triangle felt by one of the rescued Chile miners. The dramatic tale added the soap opera twist that we Americans demand with our news.
