America's wounded puppy syndrome and Thriller

Most if not everybody on the net has seen this video of Filipino inmates performing Michael jacksons thriller video.

Well a couple of days ago i woke up to some morning talk show , i think it was good morning America and they had some guy discussing this video. He did the usual blah blah shit about how many people have seen the video and how it quickly became viral on the net but he went on about how these where prison inmates. How many of them had been awaiting trial for years and how some where there for their political beliefs and how maybe this video will raise awareness for their plight.

Give me a break! Can we as Americans not see anything we don't need to save? Seriously is it possible for the media to see anything and not turn it into so sort of wounded stray puppy on the side of the road we need to rescue? Why is it that every time we find something that seems innocent and makes us laugh the media has to look for a darker side or how we need to help these poor people. Ive got a news flash for the media, we have innocent people in our jails too, we have people awaiting trials as well, we also have people imprisoned for their political beliefs thanks to the patriot act. So just why the hell do we need to look elsewhere? Sure spending my days in a jail making remakes of Michael Jackson videos, and scenes from sister act is pretty close to what i would consider hell being like and it does seem like cruel and unusual punishment. But these guys all look pretty healthy to me, none of them seem to be starving in prison camps or anything. Maybe its just me but im thinking these guys are a little low on the list of people we need to rescue.

I dont want to come across racist or anything like that im just saying if we have to go on a rescue mission maybe we should prioritize people. Lets see , people in our own country by default go to the top of the list, those who are trying to help themselves go next on the list. Countries where some leader is dressing up and playing Hitler and committing genocide go pretty high up there too. People who live in places where nothing grows that complain they are starving go on the bottom of the list. Throw all the rest in the middle of the list and make sure to exclude people who dont want help , you know the ones we tell how " we are bringing you freedom" and then they shoot at us.
