Yes he did get sponsored after the first trip, but the sponsor didn't ask him to do any product placement or anything, apparantly all they said was:
"We like what you're doing. We want to help you. We don't want to mess with you."
It's just not possible to upvote this enough...

AFAIK, Stride Gum uses his videos on commercials and advertising, but I've never seen him doing product placement on his videos. So he's basically paid to travel all over the world and dance, later his video gets shows around to millions of people. It's still one of the best jobs ever.
et *happy aussi!
I saw this posted on the site earlier, but I didn't bother to watch it until it hit the top 15. And I'm really glad I did... talk about a pleasant surprise. Hands-down one of the coolest videos I've ever seen.
Bummer that only Americans can buy the song off Amazon MP3.
Almost teared up again... dangit.
It was brilliant when it was just him but it's even more powerful with the other people involved too, hurray for showing the happy side of life. (although there are a few poignant bits in there too (the demilitarized zone for example)
I really like the music.

I just can't upvote someone who dances across the world. It's not humanitarian or tear-inducing; it's a guy dancing. Big deal. Add some heart-moving music and everyone acts like this guy is saving the world.
I did like the first one though...
I guess am the official Scrooge of this thread, so uh.... Bah Humbug... an all that. Sorry.
He was in Kuwait as well, however before we all hand hands and sing Kumbayi with Matt, hes pretty culturally insensitive if you read his blog.
Can you cite any examples for we, the lazy?

Read his other stuff on the Middle East. Also I think it's funny when a tourist goes to another country and goes to eat Applebees.
give it a try.
Reading his website, I stumbled upon a quote that made me laugh
"Matt has a little piece of extra cartilage sticking out on the rim of one ear and a little hole in the same place on the other ear. Since saying so on this page, he's been informed that the extra piece of cartilage is called a 'Darwinian Tubercle'. Matt thinks this is pretty much the greatest name for anything ever."
