Is this lame? Poll

[1n1is3]

My friend "J" saw Carson Dean do his treadmill dance on Ellen and loved it (well, he loved the dancer actually...). J's birthday is this week so I got in contact with Carson Dean and asked him to do a dance dedicated to J.
Will this be a lame birthday gift or is this a cool idea?

Edit: It would be a viral video with the dancer saying how amazing J is somewhere in video.

I feel old, because I don't know what any of this means. A dance dedicated to him? Is that a thing?

Idk if this is a thing. That's why I asked. I just know that I want J to know how much he's appreciated. He works really hard, long hours for our clients and never complains. He does his work and he does it well. He deserves something special for his birthday. This is as creative as I can get.

So someone is going to put a dance together on a treadmill for him? I guess it all depends on your relationship. I think it's kind of weird and I've never heard of it before, but if it's something u think u can pull off that he will like, go for it!

Super thoughtful and a cute idea. Good for you! I think your friend will like it.

Edit: I'm really out of the loop on figuring out how to edit correctly

Not my style. I'd think it was lame but I don't know what your friend is in to.

I think I need more details. I voted lame, because from your last comment I'm picturing this happening in a work place, and a random dude dragging out a treadmill and dedicating a dance to me while all my coworkers gathered around. I would be mortified and so awkward with all that attention.

Like, what do you say after that? 'Thanks, while you're here can you fill out this TPS report?'

I think it really depends on the person you're getting it for.

I think the biggest reason I think it's lame is because I don't understand the concept. Is he coming to his house & dancing for him? Putting out a viral video? I'm old, man..what's the point of it?

I literally died laughing! Ok, so, it would be a viral video. He would dance to a song and video it and say something about how great J is before he danced. I posted the link in a previous comment. It would be something like that but the dancer would say J's name and such.

Well I don't think it would be bad necessarily... just not my style I guess. It depends on your relationship with the person. I voted not lame.

I enjoyed his video but personally wouldn't want to have him dance for me as a gift.

[wowcheezits]

I see a lot of marketing potential with this(so I guess that makes me also lame). I can visualize personalized treadmill dances for fundraising campaigns and people would eat it up.

I think that it would be a sweet gift.

Still confused. Or old.

I'm both. The only treadmill dancing i've ever seen was in the music video for OK!GO! a couple years ago.

Does anyone remember them?


As for having the video dedicated if the friend is a fan, then of course it's a cool gift.

Just another double post.
