You've all seen this video before, of the guy dancing in front of places all over the world:
Here's the back story. His name is Matt Harding. He's 31-years-old and from Connecticut. He lived in LA for a time working on video games ("Kill All Humans" was his idea), until he got sick of it and decided to travel. His friend told him to "do the dance" he did on camera, and he did it everywhere they went. He made a video of that and it became popular. Stride gum loved the idea and paid for two more trips to use for commercials (here's Stride's web page on Matt). The third trip, the second paid for by Stride, included fans dancing in additon to Matt. The video above includes footage from all three trips. A recent article in the NYTimes about Matt has increased his visibility recently. His video was featured on today's APOD, leading to this here post.
What's the lesson from all this from this amazing video of people all over the world finding common ground? Dancing dude = dork.
