Video Obsession of the Day: Filipino Prisoners MJ Tribute

My video obsession for the day is something that require a bit of explaining if you haven't seen the original video.

According to Wikipedia, in 2007, prisoners in the Cebu Provincal Dentention and Rehabilitation Center, a maximum security prison, started putting up videos of their choreographed dance numbers up to YouTube. The one that received the most hits was "Thriller."



It became a HUGE viral video, making it all over the web. Well, now, in honor of King Michael's passing the prisoners got back to it and made an almost 10-minute long, epic tribute to the King of Pop including "Ben" "I'll Be There," and "We Are the World." It is all at once touching and incredibly odd, particularly the painting portraying Jackson as a knight in chainmail and sword.


Enjoy!
