Prisoners Dancing

I forgot who I was talking to, but I mentioned the internet video of the prisoner's dance cover of Michael Jackson's Thriller video. It's impressive, yet, as with everything else, it is not without its share of controversy. On one hand you have people saying that violence at the prison has virtually disappeared, others saying that dancing was the only exercize option for that many people, and then others asking, "Hey, aren't all these newfound internet celebrities criminals?"



Check out the video and feel free to ask your own questions. But just think of all the other amazing things you have seen in the world- Haven't most of them been wrought with some type of controversy at one point or another? The Eiffel Tower, the pyramids of Giza, the Golden Gate Bridge... Does what you learn or know about them change the way you look or feel about them? How do we compare as individuals? Are we without fault or controversy? and despite it all, are we still amazing?
