Where the Hell is Matt, More Kisses, and A Political Cunty Salad

Guys, I can't embed videos. It just doesn't work. When I paste the embed link it only a little bit of it shows up. So here's a link to a video for you to watch.

This is creating quite a bit of commotion around here in the Wrigley section of the office. A guy named Matt from Australia decided to up and quit his job one day and travel around the world, where he taped himself doing an awkward little dance in all these amazing places. Well, his video went viral (and in fact is still in the top 20). Stride gum decided to sponsor him and send him on another trip, where he visited 42 countries. This time he got people to dance with him...and the result is a video that gives me the warm fuzzies. (Corwin, don't bother watching it since you shot down my Otters Holding Hands video)

The questions is, how is this tied to Stride at all? And even if it isn't, will it still be good for the brand?

On another note, check out my comment on Sean's handshakes and kisses post to see three other kiss-related campaigns that might give you a different kind of warm fuzzy feeling.

Oh, and this link is for you, Lauren: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Euu_DMhsXQo

yeah that matt video was going around here last week or a couple weeks ago...our team thoroughly enjoyed it...and i dont think it does anything bad for stride...at the very least it's good PR, since they paid for him to do the most recent version
