Its an interesting story which you can check out at his website. Basically he was a game designer stuck in a cubicle for 10 hours a day. At lunch time he would go to his buddies desk and start that silly dance saying time to eat. It became a ritual. After some years he couldn't take being stuck in a office so he quit and traveled the world with the money he had saved up. He started doing that dance in front of the camera while in Vietnam and then did it for every place he went. He put it into a video on youtube in 2006 (the first video) and it went viral. Stride gum asked him to do a second one, and they paid for everything...whereever he wanted to go. He had become so popular that people showed up where he was filming to do the silly dance with him, seeing as how it was announced on his website wherethehellismatt.com I've never worked in a office my whole life and can't imagine doing it. I can see where people like Matt couldn't take it anymore and decided to get out of it...and having some fun. It made me smile thats for sure.

And the fact that it went so fiercely viral says to me that a hell of a lot of people got that on some level.

Why am I a putz for thinking that it is alright to make a fool out of yourself and enjoy it with people around the world. It is always good to laugh at yourself every once in a while Thanks I guess.
