Where the Hell is Matt? (Not our Matt.)

 Wonderful! Even the French danced with him.

I think these videos are awesome. But I somehow feel the whole thing is a bit ridiculous. Maybe because what he is doing is so not amazing. Anyone can dance in exotic places and the thing is, he doesn't do it with any sort of 'thing' in mind. It's not a statement and it's not even really an investigation/experiment.

He's just a guy who danced, and went to some company and asked for funding to dance some more. So basically a company pays him to go around dancing for 'funsies'. I don't blame them, it's a great idea. The numa numa guy was amazing, but where was that really going? "Numa Numa 2 - Now with more fatties!".
He's doing something that can be explorative and go places, he's friendly looking and has universal appeal, it's also not that complicated! It really isn't more than just "a dude who dances on the internet". And while I'm okay with that, I mean comeon, I could do that. Maybe I should ask someone to send me places?

Dimmukane:
He's been doing it for a while now, though.  I'm pretty sure this is his first time getting sponsored to do it.  All the other times I think it was mostly out of his pocket.  And now he's getting the people who watched his videos to participate.  You're right, it's not all that amazing, but he's the only person who actually went through with it, which maybe says something about us.

fatty:
Actually, not exactly.


--- Quote ---The response to the first video brought Matt to the attention of the nice people at Stride gum. They asked Matt if he'd be interested in taking another trip around the world to make a new video. Matt asked if they'd be paying for it. They said yes. Matt thought this sounded like another very good idea.

I'm pretty sure this is a reference to the afore-mentioned video of him before 2005 on his own travels, and long before his first 'dancing trip'.
