Title: Dancing: There is hope for humanity...
Post by: Bockscar on July 07, 2008, 09:54:43 PM
It's so easy recently to get caught up in the bad things going on around us that we often overlook simple things that are quite joyful.  I saw this video earlier today and have shared it on a couple of my favorite forums.  I hope you enjoy it because it sure brought a smile to my day.

Both links are to the same video, but the first is much better quality.

At first I thought, "What a touchy-feely pile...".  But I kept watching, and eventually a smile started moving across my face.  And finally I started laughing and actually enjoyed the rest of the video.
Not bad, not bad at all.  Thanks, Bockscar.

It was kind of neat, too, as I began to realize how many of those places I've been.  I eventually lost track as the place names flashed on the bottom of the screen.

I would love to know how he got permission to film in the JSA.

I've heard of this guy before, but never watched his videos.  Did he do all of that just for fun, or was he trying to make some kind of a statement? 

My favorite dancer was the dog in Kuwait.   smiley

He's made 3 videos.  The first one was all done by him during several trips he took in 2004/2005.  The more recent videos have been sponsored by Stride Gum as a sort of viral marketing campaign.

He claims on his website that there is no intended meaning.  He's "just dancing."

Cool!  The most surreal clip, though, is the one in the DMZ.
