This is their top story?! :D

CEBU, Philippines (CNN) -- The sea of orange moves with an urgent rhythm as music booms in the early morning light. The dancers twirl in unison, every movement carefully choreographed.

But what's most striking about these dancers are that most are accused murderers, rapists and drug dealers. They dance their jig behind prison walls. They are led by a choreographer who is accused of mass murder. One of their biggest stars is a transsexual, awaiting trial on methamphetamine dealing charges.
Welcome to the Cebu Detention and Rehabilitation Center in the Philippines.CNN.com (http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/asiapcf/09/04/dancing.prisoners/index.html#cnnSTCText)

I mean, I get it, it's something different, a unique take on rehabilitation. But the headline: "She-Male Leads Prisoners in Dance"? lol!


And while I have this picture up, can I just say that I'm tired of that 'surprised' chick in the Mortgage ad (bottom right of pic). :D

I mean, I get it, it's something different, a unique take on rehabilitation.Considering that this is the 3rd or 4th one this prison has done, it's not even different or unique anymore.

Slow news day.
