Ex-Con Zombies Go to Broadway?
In an important breaking-news follow-up story, Filipino Prisoners Do "Thriller" has shot up the charts over at YouTube. The article reveals that the compulsory dancing routine was introduced by Byron Garcia, a security (read: performing arts) consultant for the Cebu province of the Philippines.
But the BBC buried the lede: Two of the inmates are now dancers. That, I think, is more amazing than the video itself.
The kicker, however, is definitely in the right place: "And fans of [Garcia's] work can look forward to another three routines in the pipeline, including one set to the Vanilla Ice classic, Ice Ice Baby."
