Free Hug Campaign

I was linked this by a friend and thought the video was super cool.

In this age of social disconnectivity and lack of human contact, the effects of the Free Hugs campaign became phenomenal.

As this symbol of human hope spread accross the city, police and officials ordered the Free Hugs campaign BANNED. What we then witness is the true spirit of humanity come together in what can only be described as awe inspiring.

In the Spirit of the free hugs campaign, PASS THIS TO A FRIEND and HUG A STRANGER! After all, If you can reach just one person

Of course, doing this in my workplace would constitute a violation of corporate policy as potentially creating a hostile work environment.

I would probably slap a person I didn't know trying to hug me......and I'm a huggy person.

Hugs are great, but from total strangers? That would creep me out, not brighten up my life.

When's "Free Punch to The Groin" day?

And that is how a hug progresses to hostility

And when you post a sign on your chest that says "Free Hugs".

And one on the back of the next person that says "Kick Me!"

And let the hostilities begin!

It seemed to me that he was offering hugs, not forcing them upon anyone. I suppose that's all in the perspective.

As long as he isn't drooling or groping, I don't see anything wrong

I went to school with a guy who would wear a "Can I Have a Hug" shirt every Friday. Then when people would read the shirt he would hug them. He was odd, yet very cool. Even the non huggiest of people came around eventually.

I would never hug a stranger.
