I used to think that life was grand, that people were good, and that the only thing that could make me cry was the Married Life montage in Up.
I used to be naive.

When I came across this post, I was absolutely revolted:
"Spotted this specimen trying to dance the other week. He stopped when he saw us laughing." -Some Douche
Yep, you read that correctly. Some oxygen-suckhole decided to humiliate this dancing "specimen" (specimen? seriously?!) in public, laughing at him and ruining his fun. To top it all off, they photographed the attack, and uploaded it to the internet so that their mouth-breathing friends could laugh along from their respective mothers' basements. Sorry, mothers.
Fortunately, Twitter's @CassandraRules (she's right by the way, she absolutely does rule) was just as revolted, and decided to take action. She sent out a tweet hoping to find the dancing man in order to do something "special" for him.
As time went on, the search became a fully-fledged movement to #finddancingman, with the promise of having an enormous dance party for Dancing Man and Cassandra, along with 1,726 of her closest female friends.
The search continued, and some celebrities hopped on board:
Only days later, Dancing Man was found! With a smile on his face, he made contact with the women who hoped to throw a party in his honor.
And... this is where the happy tears start flowing. The party happened! Over 1,000 people came to the LA function, including Monica Lewinsky, an outspoken proponent to end the growing problem of cyberbullying; DJ Moby; and of course, the star of the party-- Dancing Man himself.
As horrific as the original post was, it's nice to know that the good guys won this round.
Keep on dancin', Dancing Man.
