About a month ago I was walking through an airport (layover in Prague for some bizarre reason) and I saw a young girl of maybe eight years old wearing a t-shirt with the words 'Dance for Pedro' written on it. It was a plain white t-shirt with large red lettering, and looked pretty cheaply done. I could not work out what on earth it meant. It's been annoying me ever since, and the phrase kept popping into my head, particularly yesterday when I was having dinner with a friend of mine called Pedro (he assures me that there is no connection). So, in an attempt to exorcise this particular annoyance I am going to lay out all of the possible explanation that I can think of. If anyone reading this has any other explanation, or in fact some explanation of the true reason, please let me know.
- Somebody called Pedro has some kind of terminal illness, and friends and family have arranged a sponsored dance to raise money for a cure/final trip to Disneyland.
- The child has been kidnapped by a weird paedophile cult with a dancing fetish led by the mysterious and charismatic 'Pedro'.
- The phrase is a tagline for an as-yet-unreleased indie film experimenting with some very strange publicity stunts.
- The first in a line of ultra-hip t-shirts based on meaningless slogans. Very nihilistic.
- Somebody called Pedro likes dancing, and this girl's parents are friends of his playing some kind of insider-practical-joke that I can't comprehend.
