Michael Jackson. Hmm some might say, yep he was a legend. Others might think otherwise. Well a viral video was released sometime in 2007 which shows prisoner inmates dancing to the Michael Jackson song Thriller and demonstrates to some extent how influential humour, music and the internet can be when put into one and quickly became a hit with the help of the video sharing website YouTube. Strange? Yeah seems like it. Prisoners perform a coordinated dance routine as their daily ritual in a Philipino prison. Maybe that’s where this countries tax money is going. Like dont they have anything better to do? No idea how this video went viral but it seems like the internet and humour have a weird bond. With over 40million views it has been re-directed onto other websites and it even made an appearance on some news broadcast stations making this video one of classics in the viral video list of today.
After watching this video, prison doesn’t look to bad. Its kind of fun right. I don’t know you decide. With the video having a strong comedic appeal and presented in unlikely circumstances, it exploded all over the world and as a result it was watched by millions.
The video can be found
here. After watching it, you yourself might even try some moves from the clip you never know. :) Enjoy!
