Yes, from Reuters Aug. 1 - In a video which is taking the Internet by storm, hundreds of inmates at a prison in the central Philippines dance to fully choreographed music as part of their morning exercise. The male inmates, dressed in their prison attire, dance to the classic "Thriller" by Michael Jackson. With the aim of fostering camaraderie and breaking down gang factions, the choreographed dance routine is the brainchild of Byron Garcia, who oversees the prison. It remains to be seen whether the dance routines act an effective tool in rehabilitating the inmates under Garcia's charge. The "Thriller" video, which is proving to be very popular on the Internet, has clocked up over three million hits in its first two weeks on video sharing site YouTube.

What a Great idea ! The more prisoners continue to feel alienated and angry ... the worse it is for everyone. Maybe some rehabilitation will come of this, instead of needing to send so many criminals back to prison after they get out (and repeat offend). C.C.

Oh ... sure looks like one ... certainly dressed like one.

Guess I'm not good at identifying men in drag.

It's a men's prison.

It's a men's prison.

High heels, breasts, pony tail, pink tank top, hip swaying walk ... whether it's actually a man or NOT, doesn't matter ... symbol represents a woman and the ending really looks like she's getting trounced. Okay, only my opinion ... but doesn't send a favorable message.

I guess you had to see the original to appreciate it in all of its prison glory.

They're pretending to be ZOMBIES. Um, brain eating, murdering.. ZOMBIES. Of course it's supposed to be violent. It would make a rather boring video if all of the zombies came out of the ground, shook hands and ate tea and scones.
