Buzz Watch: Where the Hell is Matt and Who is That Dancing With Him?Authored by Jay Baage on June 23, 2008 - 6:37am.
Matt Harding has done it again. This time it was 14 months in the making, included travelling to 42 countries, and a cast of not just one but thousands - and it's in HD (embedded above). The video was made possible by smart marketers at Stride Gum that realized the viral potential of updating and improving his first travelling dance video. Matt is not your ordinary goofball, he is actually a really interesting person with a background in the games industry with a "meaning of life" story to tell. I've embedded a YouTube video of one of his lectures below. And get this people, Matt has never lost a staring contest, take that Jessica Alba. Schwarzenneger Asks Calif.
