In 2005, a guy named Matt couldn’t dance. So, of course, he uploaded a video of himself dancing frenetically in front of famous places. Stride gum saw the video and sponsored him to go around the world and dance his strange, leprechaun-ish jig. Stride’s first Matt video, from 2006, has gotten almost 10 million hits to date. Last week, the follow-up, with fans dancing alongside Matt, was posted (see above). It already has more than 2 million views.
