Get your ‘Thriller’ on YouTube (via Technotica- msnbc.com)

Spontaneous gatherings to Michael Jackson popped up all over the globe following news of the pop icon’s sudden death on Thursday.

But in the Philippines, 1,500 convicts at Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center practiced nine hours Friday night and into Saturday morning for their own professionally choreographed tribute to the artist who helped make them the most popular inmates on the Internet.

The maximum security penitentiary became YouTube-famous in 2007 for its exercise yard rendition of Jackson’s “Thriller” video.
