It was in April last year that the video of middle-aged man dancing around a fountain in a tutu went viral. In a world where the human attention span is less than that of a goldfish, the Internet was flooded with memes as the video racked up over eight million hits.
Observers attributed its popularity to the location. The fountain with a sculpted flower in the middle surrounded by gorgeously lit buildings. Others remarked on the happiness radiating from the dancer.
I blame the extra shots of tequila consumed that afternoon. I am never showing my face in public again.
