Bad: You’re in prison. Worse: it’s in the Philippines. Awful: You’re forced to reenact Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”

Bizarre, Video

Talk about it in our Forums

There are many, many reasons I would never want to go to prison. After viewing this, being forced into a surreal Michael Jackson video by the warden has just topped my list.

    I have never been so horrified and amused at the same time.

    This clip should be shown in ALL schools around the country to prevent children from growing up to live a life of as they might find themselves… Jacksonized.

    What would make a great piece would be the idea process that led up to these inmates having to perform this notorious performance. Were they all consistently out of compliance and it was punishment? Are they all ex-theater dancers and whilst having a morning mug of mud water they thought it’d be peachy keen fun? What led up to this and WHY?

    DO I REALLY WANT TO KNOW?!?

    Heard that they did it because they wanted to be on the TV news , without resorting to physical violence or jailbreak or anything like that. They wanted relatives and friends to remember they exist, and they were not coerced into doing this. Yeah, I guess it looks absurd, but it doesn’t really beat manslaughter or robbery with homicide.
