CNN features Philippines' dancing inmates again: tribute to Michael Jackson

Amid the tropical heat of a Philippine prison, convicted murderers, rapists and drug dealers on Saturday paid tribute to Michael Jackson with a reprise of their YouTube dance hit, "Thriller." A rendition of Jackson's 1980s smash hit by prisoners at the Cebu Detention and Rehabilitation Center in the central Philippines garnered more than 24 million views since 2007, when prison supervisor Byron Garcia first uploaded it!

I think Byron has done a good job. He should be hired to rehabilitate corrupt government officials throughout the world in this facility and let them dance and entertain the world.
