- bixby1, on 06/27/2009, -6/+120Is Michael... is he holding Excalibur?
- purple, on 06/28/2009, -1/+106They could if they were locked in their dance studios 24/7 with nothing else to do.

Color me less than amused. - inactive, on 06/28/2009, -2/+72PPTP or VPN?
- Ross667, on 06/27/2009, -7/+74Outstanding! I know several school and professional groups that wouldn't be able to get this as organized and in sync as those prisoners within a month!
R.I.P. - aelias, on 06/28/2009, -0/+64Actually, he says they haven't had ANY violence in three years. Pretty amazing, considering it's their version of a maximum security prison.
- MacTyler, on 06/28/2009, -1/+62Yes, actually THIS was done in ten hours. Obviously they have been dancing since 2007, but they were talking about THIS specific tribute dance that they made and learned in less than ten hours. How come you don't get that?
- openingsound, on 06/28/2009, -3/+62i just want to see them all do the moonwalk at the same time
- cuoops, on 06/28/2009, -4/+61Congrats for the new warden. I'm pretty sure the violence dropped like over 50% after he initiated this dance program. This would not work in the US though.
- thatonekid393, on 06/28/2009, -3/+49...I liked Thriller better.
Still, great coordination. - augustojr, on 06/28/2009, -3/+48Heal the world, Make it a better place.
through choreographed dancing! - enozten, on 06/28/2009, -2/+37but showtune singing and rampant homosexuality has skyrocketed 300%
- inactive, on 06/28/2009, -1/+33COOL STORY, BRO.
- evilawesome, on 06/28/2009, -1/+26yes he is son, yes he is.
- ZeroCubed, on 06/28/2009, -1/+25Beautiful. I love the part where they wave all the flags.
But what are the odds that they imprisoned an entire dance team? - ZenMojo, on 06/28/2009, -2/+23/s
- AmnesiacJack, on 06/28/2009, -8/+29I wish American prisons did cool stuff like this.
- piieerrrree, on 06/28/2009, -0/+21tl;dr
- The_Tate, on 06/28/2009, -1/+20PPTP is VPN, but I still dugg your comment for lateral thinking. Good show comrade!
- SilverBack101, on 06/28/2009, -1/+20Sweet Jebus...I was not expecting to see that.
- Brak710101, on 06/28/2009, -0/+19IPsec
- ButterBuddha, on 06/28/2009, -2/+18Dude, seriously...what the ***** is wrong with you? Should I write a seven paragraph rant about your mom giving birth to you? The world loved Michael Jackson and this video was made my his fans, so ***** off you whiny little *****.
- inactive, on 06/27/2009, -5/+21that was awesome
- painting, on 06/28/2009, -7/+22its a good thing these prisoners arn't being tortured and beaten to do this.
- TrevorPace, on 06/28/2009, -1/+16All these jokes are getting really old. Like I'm not gonna pretend that I haven't laughed at a few of them, but he was acquitted on all charges of child molestation and has always denied it.
My opinion is that he was just a man who lived a very tough life and had Neverland built so that he could try and relive the only time he could remember he was happy...when he was a young child. - augustojr, on 06/28/2009, -1/+16prolly Christ
- aeck, on 06/28/2009, -1/+16Crime in the Philippines also has dropped 50%, out of fear of landing in this prison.
- BigKoi, on 06/28/2009, -4/+18Look closely at their back's. Some one P'd on them!
- earlvanze, on 06/28/2009, -3/+16Filipino people don't usually get fat.
- evilawesome, on 06/28/2009, -1/+14the original video says it was recorded within ten hours.
- kungfool101, on 06/28/2009, -7/+19The fact that a group of prison inmates are singing songs of love and world peace at all in the first place... This kind of stuff is MJ's legacy.
Great Tribute! - amolkold, on 06/28/2009, -0/+12How can that be a tribute if it was uploaded in April?
- deepbl, on 06/28/2009, -0/+9If you think that is bad, you should see the living conditions outside of the prison..
- Berkana, on 06/28/2009, -6/+15The original, for those who missed the meme the first time around:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LkqAb5Eu9g - ghatid, on 06/28/2009, -0/+9I don't understand how this works. What's the motivation, and what does he do if the prisoners don't want to dance?
Also, they are all skinny...in our prisons...you have to deal with people of different sizes...I find that pretty interesting. It looks more like soldiers than prisoners. - Kakemonstere, on 06/28/2009, -0/+9Well, then info was great, only his opinion sucks.
- aelias, on 06/28/2009, -45/+53This was not "done in ten hours".
From CNN:
Dancing was introduced at the prison in 2007, as a means of rehabilitating prisoners at a facility once notorious for its gang problem.
Every able-bodied prisoner must dance. If they refuse, they lose privileges, mostly conjugal visits. According to Garcia, the dancing occupies up to five hours a day. However he rejected claims he's abusing the prisoners' rights by forcing them to dance so many hours a day.
He said it gives them a renewed sense of worth and confidence, breaking them of their violent ways. He is convinced his prison is a model for prison authorities everywhere, an example of how to crack the plague of violent prison gangs.
"It brought back their self esteem. We have happy inmates now -- we don't want to go back to the old jail where we had mad, sad inmates," he said.
In searing temperatures, 1,400 men in bright orange tracksuits performed the 15-minute "Thriller" routine perfectly. They rehearsed for 10 hours the previous day, finally stopping at 3 a.m. to rest ahead of the show. - augustojr, on 06/28/2009, -0/+8@artfiend77 MJ wasn't that real towards the end either.
- NiMip, on 06/28/2009, -1/+8"Maybe people are trying to get at you for being famous and you're kind of creepy and you hang out with little kids. So people were making assumptions that you were sleeping with kids but then you were accused of it like 20 times or something. You probably ***** with a kid."
You do realise that doesn't prove a thing. I'm not saying if he did or didn't do it, because I don't know. But if one person thinks 'Hey, I could totally sue the ***** out of MJ by pretending he molested my child... what a great way to get wads of cash, seeing as I don't have a conscience!' and other people thereafter realise there's an opportunity to do the same, a situation like what occurred could easily arise. Innocent until proven guilty in my opinion.
Also, just STFU. You're not going to win people over with a wall of verbally explicit text. - inactive, on 06/28/2009, -2/+9who dugg you at all?
- otakugeek, on 06/28/2009, -0/+7@earlvanze
What leads you to that conclusion? As a Cebu(the location of the prison) native I have seen a lot of obese people there in the 8 years I have lived there. A little less than here in North America but still a considerable amount. - fajitamelt, on 06/28/2009, -0/+7Comment hacking: Look at the second row from the very front, sixth position from the left. There is a prisoner missing. Even when they put their hands on their shoulders, the guys in the fifth and seventh positions put their hands in the air as if somebody was actually there. ***** awesome choreography.
- nVious, on 06/28/2009, -0/+6Guy escapes jail at 5:07, top left
- Onethirtytwo, on 06/28/2009, -3/+9Wait... so if I go to prison i get to dance?!?!
- syphern, on 06/28/2009, -2/+7lol please guys I hope you dont end up in prison...you will be passed around like currency
- Super6, on 06/28/2009, -2/+7Christ was most likely real, he's at least reference, it's just his miracles that were made up
- MisterMajusty, on 06/28/2009, -4/+9Michael would be proud
- earlvanze, on 06/28/2009, -0/+5I bet it's FTP.
- Mackofalltrades, on 06/28/2009, -0/+5By the power of greyskull.
