The internet might make a lot of promises about restoring your faith in humanity, but this story could do just that.
It begins last month when an anonymous user posted on 4chan a picture of a man dancing at what looked like a gig.
he accompanying text reads: “Spotted this specimen trying to dance the other week. He stopped when he saw us laughing.”
So far, not very faith-restoring, but wait, we promise this is a feel-good post.
The 4chan image was re-posted on Imgur, where the fact that someone had seemingly taken such pride in being so horrible to someone just having a bit of a dance upset a lot of people, some of whom wanted to do something nice for the man in the picture.
The cause was led by Cassandra Fairbanks, an activist and writer based in Los Angeles for the Free Thought Project, who started a campaign to do something nice for the man.
Cassandra told i100.co.uk that the #DancingMan is a Londoner named Sean. He’s currently out of the country but will be “free for an adventure” in two weeks.
She said that seeing the initial photo of Sean “broke all of our hearts”.
Stressing that it had been a group effort to find Sean, a group of women from every industry is now planning a massive party for Sean in LA, where presumably there will be dancing, a lot of dancing.
“We will make it awesome,” Cassandra added.

Eesh, You are closer to our dancing fat man than anyone else on the forum. Hows about you set up a little party for Meade down in Richmond? First weekend in April maybe? I will be there and bring a couple of nice single girls with me. Count me in for 200 towards expenses. We will need to get him a cake too.
