Where in the World Is Matt?

I admit I'm way behind on seeing this video. It got a lot of attention a couple years ago. Regardless, if you haven't seen it, it's well worth the four minutes. Who would think a white guy doing a silly dance could be so inspiring? (Josh we should have thought of this.)

That is amazing. I'll do the "little dance" in front of everyone if I get to go all of those places! Why & how did this get accomplished?

That's unbelievable and made me want to get on a plane right now.

I love the stop at the demilitarized zone.

If you do that dance at the DMZ, it loosely translate into, "Kim Jong Il, you can suck it!"

How and why did this get accomplished? Short version. The first few shot of him dancing was just a lark between he and his friends. "Hey dude, do that retarded dance and I'll put it on Youtube." They did this a few times. Years passed. Nothing happened. Then, someone stumbled across it, sent it to a few friends, blogged about it, and it ends up getting watched a few bazillion times. Stride gum sees it, and pays for him to travel and do silly dance in a lot of new cool places. Another year goes by. Stride says, we'll pay your way to many more cool places if a lot of locals will join in. Voila. Brilliant. It plays in Times Square on a huge screen.
