Students of the group Philadelphia Student Union, which is a part of a larger organization called the Philadelphia Coalition Advocacy of Public Schools, recently performed a zombie-themed flashmob to Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' in front of the school district's headquarters.
I've never been much a fan of the 'pop-n-lock' dancing, however, this video is absolutely one of the most incredible things I've seen. Prisoners at a maximum security prison in the Philippines dance to Michael Jackson's "They Don't Care About Us" in perfect unison. Yes, I did say 'prisoners'.
