THRILLER: THE PINOY PRISON MUSICAL

Guess which YouTube post has gotten more than a million views as of today? A video showing 1,500 Cebu prison inmates performing a well-choreographed "Thriller" dance routine. The link has been mentioned in many popular U.S. blogs including USA Today and Mo Rocca's column. I loved Mo's title most of all: "So You Think You Can Dance: Filipino Prison Edition."

It looks like the dancers are having fun (beats cleaning up the toilet, I bet), so the cringe factor is minimal. I did stop watching before the icky final scene where the "zombies" dance the part where they "attack" the "woman".
