Today’s Web Celeb Wednesday is the one and only Dancing Man and all of his supporters, for showing the world that bullying is NOT okay! It’s one of those rare moments that completely restores your faith in humanity. This story has snowballed to epic proportions! Celebs are even getting on board, and if you missed it, here’s the story:
A horrible ‘person’, hiding behind an anonymous handle, put this up on 4chan:
“Spotted this specimen trying to dance the other week. He stopped when he saw us laughing.”
People quickly came to the mans defense, condemning the anonymous poster for being a bully. One woman, Cassandra, got together with a bunch of her friends and decided they wanted to do something nice for Dancing Man.
Anyone know this man or who posted this? There’s a huge group of ladies in LA who would like to do something special pic.twitter.com/DGbu3AXOrB

But they had to find him first, and that was proving difficult:
