What To Do With Summer Doldrums? Re-Enact Michael Jackson Videos

Bored out of your mind at an interminable summer workshop? Not sure what to do with your kids between summer camp and the start of school? Students complaining that school is "just like jail?" Do what these Phillipino (filipino?) prisoners did -- stage a full-scale re-enactment of Michael Jackson's famous video, Thriller, in the prison yard, featuring a cast of 100s.

If they can do it, so can you. Remember to tape it, though, and send it in.

Filipino :)

This makes watching the original or re-make of "The Longest Yard" seem quaint at best.

Not sure if this will replace the oft-used "all-school circle lap-sit" bonding exercise happening at a beginning of school field day, but I'd sure like to see it gain some momentum.

Could we see it go viral in school yards around the country/world?

Cheers for the laughter!
