[OT] Where in the World is Matt?

This is a funny video, a bit long at 4 minutes, about a guy who
travelled around the world and had himself videotaped doing a silly
dance either alone or with other people who he managed to corral
into joining him.

He was sponsored by a gum company (huh?), and the actual name of the
video is "Where the Hell Is Matt", probably because the company didn't
want any trouble from the makers of the Carmen San Diego game. Maybe
they wanted to get footage for future commercials?

In any case, it's hilarious to watch. I turned the sound off because
the music was terrible and didn't go with the scenes at all, but YMMV.

Oh, and read the text on the site, too, that's also funny.

There should be something to be said for that but, can't think of it right
now.

Helen S sent me a version of this a few years ago, but it was him
dancing alone and the music was different. That one was very moving
somehow. This one is more of a celebration.

Yeah, I had to ditch the music, but enjoyed it all - the video.
I would say IMHO the Argentines, Poles, and Swedes outdanced
the heck of my hometown Miamians. Ditto the Quebecois...thanks, Joyce.

I liked the anti-gravity chamber, myself. Also the one where he's
dancing alone in a room with a mean-looking cop standing behind him. I
forget which country that was. The ones with big crowds were really fun,
too.

As I watched the video, I kept thinking, I could have done this! I
dance at least as badly as he does!

I liked the bit from Papua-New Guinea. And I'd never have thought
of trying the Korean DMZ, well done that man.
