Michael Jackson’s Thriller, as performed by inmates of the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center in the Philippines. Including one shemale with male pattern baldness.

hat tip: Boing Boing

Also, since we’re on the subject of Asian folks, it looks like Robert Duval was wrong. Charlie does surf. And so do Padma, Pervez, Abdul, Bahtiyar and Reza.

Welcome to all our visitors from Vietnam, India, Pakistan, Egypt, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, the gulf Emirates, and (I guess) even to the Iranians as well. (Yes, I know Egypt is in Africa, but I still wanted to say hello.)

Uh… I don’t remember it ending like that.

Also, didn’t the inmate dancing the role of Michael Jackson look a little, er, dusted to you?

I can’t stop watching this either! Who knew Asians could dance so well?

I love the endng…they’re rushing the “girl” thinking “Pussy!!!!”
Soylent Ape said, on July 21st, 2007 at 8:24 am

“Pussy”, in prison parlance, has a different meaning, for those unfamiliar with such.
Stiletto said, on July 21st, 2007 at 9:00 am

Been to jail, yes - prison, no. Not yet anyway.

BTW, how did they get those guys all in synch?
Soylent Ape said, on July 21st, 2007 at 4:23 pm

Maybe Charlie isn’t surfing. With the development of the Vietnamese economy, there are thousands of American civilians living and working there–and we got the cigarettes and that’s what they’ve been dreaming of!
Stiletto said, on July 21st, 2007 at 5:40 pm

Oh my god, the Vietnamese community is sooo addicted to cigarettes! Maybe it’s America’s revenge.
jessecuster said, on July 21st, 2007 at 6:54 pm

More like France’s revenge than ours.
Stiletto said, on July 21st, 2007 at 7:33 pm

True, dat.

‘Dien Bien … *hack hack* que?’

Oddly enough, I just did a google for DBP + vietnam … fifth result down the page was talking about cigarette addiction programs. :D

Was my Apocalypse Now reference too obscure there?
Stiletto said, on July 21st, 2007 at 11:33 pm

Not, not at all Soylent.

There was this asswipe who owned the lousiest Thai restaurant I’ve ever been to..he used to dig on the Vietnamese community all the time for their love of cigarettes. He’d always make a point to point out how he thought Vietnamese people were inferior because of it.

So one day I stuck a cigarette butt into the bowl of Pad Thai I ordered and left.

Ok so I am lying about that last paragraph but it sounded good at the time.

Can’t. stop. watching.

BTW, extra props for the Apocalypse Now reference…

I love the smell of napalm in the morning!
