Viral Dancing Video Viewed Over 5 Million Times
We're not gonna lie, we kinda hate this guy, but only because we're so jealous of him. Matt Harding is a former video game designer and counter clerk at a video game store. He never went to college and at this point is basically unemployed. Yet, with the aide of the Stride Chewing Gum company, he is able to underwrite his world travels (without ham-fisted interference from the company's marketing team).
Matt became an Internet phenomenon by posting videos of himself doing an arm-swinging, knee-pumping, dance in exotic locations. Production values have increased over the years for Matt Harding's 'Dancing,' as the series is called -- the most recent video even includes an exclusive score. The newest video also expands the scope of the dancing from just solo white-boy goofiness to flash-mob style dance parties with locals (which, in the case of Lemur Island, Madagascar, are lemurs). You can also track Matt between video dance parties at Wherethehellismatt.com.
You don't want to know what we'd be willing to videotape ourselves doing with locals if it meant we could spend our days traveling to exotic locations on someone else's dime. [Source: AOL News and New York Times]

That isn't true. He did go to college. He went to Champlain College in Vermont.

Nevermind, I guess you meant on Stride's cash flow. Still its basic advertising for them either way so I'm sure with that many views its gonna help them either way so its not a waste in the end.
