People in prison shouldn't be doing shows, much less their own production of Thriller.

And yeah, these people need a timeline real bad.

Oh, I see. So the assumption is that we're all wired to the 'net and should have seen all the funny stuff by now? When I posted Candy Mountain, some people said they never saw it before.

Maybe we should have a "funny video moderator"

This is so old I read about it in a dead-tree, non-Internet newspaper like a month ago. And by the time anything appears in the newspaper it's old news.

Isn't that a little risky, a guy dressed as a girl in a prison?

Exactly. They should be eating gravel and drinking acid.

Rather old, but never posted on MacNN I guess… Heard about it on Wait Wait… the first time. Here is an NPR story about it NPR : Filipino Inmates' Video Is a 'Thriller' on the Web

Wait, you posted Candy Mountain recently? hmmm.

Best to try and stick to posting things you know are new, and sharing other amusing things with your friends directly. I guess. /shrug

Here's a fun experiment -- next time post something along the line of "oldie, but a goodie" even if you have no clue to the age. I wonder if that'll reduce backlash.

I guess the assumption here is that if it's more than a week old, everyone's seen it.

And then you get other threads where people say "buahah! thanks, I never saw that".

eh, whatever.

If it's a nanosecond old we'll still get timelines.

Say, when do timelines get timelined?

I can't tell if this is supposed to be recreation or punishment. And if it's punishment, are they punishing the inmates or us?

Any ramblings are entirely my own, and do not represent those of my employers, coworkers, friends, or species

They have a bunch of other performances as well. I think they do it for fun.
