Nothing more funny than watching prisoners forced to reduce themselves to children for the enjoyment and ridicule of a crowd.Unless I’m missing something here (and in which case I’m sorry), this is plain revolting.
This is actually their daily exercise. Apparently the warden was sick of just marching them in a circle for an hour a day and started teaching dance lessons. Eventually it turned into massive dance routines that everyone actually enjoyed doing. They’ve done Thriller, Radio Gaga, and a couple others.The warden claims that a few of the prisoners became professional backup dancers after getting out of the joint.He put the videos on Youtube to share his ideas with other wardens and promote a more exciting daily exercise.I don’t know Eyal, it actually sounds kind of cool!
Well, that definitely shut me up.Maybe it is viewed different in their culture. I know in the west this would pass as a sadistic abuse of the prisoners.As someone who served in an army and was forced to do these kinds of routines, I can imagine how I would feel if my sergeant would’ve wanted us to do thriller for his amusement.Oh well…
You did the Algorithm March in the Army?(I would have thought this more likely for the navy…)
Hehe, we did much weirder stuff than the algorithm march.The whole routine becomes exponentially more complicated when you add a rifle to the mix.But it was never to this kind of music, only marches. Which felt less humiliating, although not by much.
