Students Break “Thriller” World Record
I don’t know how they broke the record since they were only 242 students and 1500 Filipino inmates already danced to Thriller before. [YouTube]

Apparently no Guinness official was at the prison. Talk about evil monopolies. Sometimes that’s too much power for one organisation.
(ramblings hah)
Widescreen, anyone?
Even if there was no Guinness official on the prison, they can actually see the video it self, perhaps because they didn’t do it for a record, just for fun intended for the jailbird to show off a change in their existence
I think it was the World Records Academy, not sure about the Guinness though. These prisoners’ act has now become one of the major attractions in the Philippines, people from different parts of the world come and see their performances, well they make money instead of killing each other, nice post :)
I still liked the concept from the filiino prisoners…i checked it on youtube they have other dance presentations from songs of Black Eyed Peas, Florida etc. links below are just some of it and it hits millions.. Cool…

This looks lame compared to the awesome performance by those filipino prisoners.
The very fact that the filipino performers were prisoners (read: dangerous) made their performance credible.
These people don’t look goulish at all and it feels like you can go and kick them in the butt without any retribution.
They are doing it to get a record. they should at least be more synchronized with each other. The Philipino inmates did it a lot better.
that was neat !
I agree with what Gilbert says… as a substitute of killing each other they make revenue now, and the good thing is, because they are all good, they will give them a “pardon”
(I don’t know if this the right word) it will reduce the time of their stay on that place. yiihhaaa…!!!
How I wish I could see Arab dancing with their time-honored dress…
Now check this (world record) out!!

It says Pakistani, but I beg to differ; its Indian all the way…….. Go!! India Go!!
mark, i dont know if u have seen my message but i sent you a good falling dominos video…i think u shud share it with everyone.
Dancing is plain Gayness , unless it funny then its kind of Entertaining .
I am not so sure about this, but I guess the record is for performing the “actual” dance of the Thriller video, but again I wouldn’t know if this is actually the actual one hehe (I was never a big fan of Michael, and you can hate me all what you want for that), because what the inmates did is their own version of it (I think). Plus the fact that there must be some kind of an official committee to authenticate the number.
Mark, too much dancing youtubes … do you dance ? Now that would be a hit on youtube hehe.
The other one was better!
