If I Ever Go To Prison, I Hope It’s This One
By Jeff Hilimire on Wednesday, July 25th, 2007Or Fox River Penitentiary, because I think I know a way out.
This video about a Filipino prison was passed to me by frequent comment poster TS aka Brian Westbrook aka Steve Wilson, and because he suggested I spread the word on this thing and because I just can’t believe it really happened, I had to post it. This again falls in that category of “how do I tie this in to interactive marketing”. I mean, its an online video and without Youtube I doubt we’d ever get to see things like this, but as with my last post I’m not going to try too hard to tie it in. As JJ (another appreciated, frequent comment poster on this blog) pointed out in my last post, it’s not always critical to make sure that my posts tie directly to the company, so I’m going to roll with that mentality.
So basically, just check out these crazy Filipino inmates re-enacting Thriller. I wish things around here were that organized - jeesh.
I’m going to ignore your last sentence.
This video is great - I’d love to see the final version if this is just a practice. Thanks TS for sharing! Maybe we could organize our own version? I think Ryan and Wade would be up for it, after all they’ve got moves.
Jeff, you have hit a new level. This is by far your best post yet!
Amy, you just added one back.
Last Halloween, the Macon version of Creative Loafing, e11eventh Hour, had free lessons to learn the Thriller dance. So for two nights we went and practiced, and then on Halloween we all dressed as zombies and wandered around downtown Macon. At the stroke of 9, all the zombies gather at the intersection of Third and Cherry and the music just, came out of nowhere and we did the dance in the middle of the street. It was probably one of the most awesome things I’ve ever done.
There’s a video at http://www.fox24.com/thriller/ , but it’s not that good and you can’t see ME.
Congratulations, Jeff - you have successfully completed level 1 and are granted access to level 2. Watch your email for your next test.
