THE CONUNDRUM: We all enjoyed the Filipino prisoner version of “Thriller”—until we learned that these same prisoners were being forced to dance (reportedly until their feet began bleeding). And now there’s a brand new video out, which we should avoid it at all costs… because by watching and sharing it, we’re enabling the possibly insane dance-crazy warden who will keep making these poor saps dance until their legs fall off.
HOWEVER.
How am I supposed to say no to such a pop-tastic feel-good song combined with awesome dance moves that make me feel happy to be alive again? If these prisoners are working off their debt to society, isn’t dancing better than pumping weights and shanking cellmates and joining inter-prison white power organizations?
THEREIN LIES THE CONUNDRUM. (Oh, hell. It’s so awesome, I’m just gonna watch it again. Maybe we can send them some Dr. Scholl’s massaging gel insoles?)
