Does it seem fair that these prisoners in the Phillipines are having a much better time than most American office workers? (For entertainment almost as good, see my posting on New York's current production of Gypsy.)
Mo Rocca has appeared on a bunch of shows, including 'The Daily Show,' 'I Love the 80s,'...

2. I once saw a group of Japanese workers doing their "radio exercises" (morning movements done to a radio program broadcast the same time daily) - to the tune of "The Bridge on the River Kwai" and I don't think they got the irony.

4. i am speechless, this is one of the most rediculous things i have ever seen. i would like to see the statistics on this activity and how it affects the recidivism rate. i think in the USA recreation is going outside for 15 minutes to pump iron or get shanked by a gang member. i do not know if what they do is for fun, recreation or rehabilitation. VERY WEIRD!

5. THE LOOK LIKE THEY ARE EXCERSISEN. HEY! IS THAT A WOMAN OR A MAN?

6. I can think of worse things for inmates to be organizing. Besides, there's really nothing wrong with encouraging anyone to have a moment of good spirit & good humor - even if they've done someting bad elsewhere in life.

7. This is hilarious! They got the moves DOWN PAT! I don't think there is anything wrong with having recreation like this in jail. I think it is good for people who are in jail to have good spirits instead of being depressed all the time, fighting, and stuff like that. Just because they're in jail does not mean they should be treated like they're less than anyone else. They're people,too, you know!

13. Best moment: when the "chick" turned around and you see the receding hairline. Classic!
Otherwise, who came up with this? Seriously? Is it the prison drama group? Or maybe the prisonyard dance squad? I mean, who comes up with this stuff?
Kudos to the men in orange, they did an AWESOME job!

14. I like it,think its entertaining. they should get rid of the crazyass looking dude in the tank top and jeans though.

15. I thought it was cool and fun to watch. I like the song "Thriller". It gave them something to do instead of hurting or killing each other!!
