Thriller in Manila: the Philippines take prison-yard excersise to a whole new level...

Yes, this is another YouTube video that has taken the online community by storm, following on from the recent rash of Dirty Dancing-inspired wedding videos. The morning exercise routine at a prison in Cebu, central Philippines, recorded for posterity, has found its way on to the video-sharing website, and thus far, has attracted over a million views since its first posing.

According to Reuters, the dance routines were introduced to enjoy their enforced stay a bit better: Prison governor Byron Garcia said "I want the prison system to learn from this," Garcia told Reuters. "The inmates are after all human beings and the inmates after all, once inside, know that they have committed mistakes, let them enjoy their stay."
