I have no idea why, but I felt compelled to post the video here. And now I feel like hugging. :hug2:

Wow... that was really really nice. It is nice to see that in a world that is becoming cynical and cold, there are people still thinking about and nurturing the most important part of the human being: the heart.

Pffft. Go hug yourself!

Here's some help:

In all seriousness, those guys in the video have the right idea (I think I've seen something similar to this before... Can't put my finger on it.) We really need an International Hug Day.

Hugging day = encouraging physical acts of perversion
And we already have world cup and new years and what not.

This is great stuff. People going out and brightening others' days just for the sake of it.

Aww that was nice. ^^ Some kid in my school saw this and gave out Free Hugs. I think he got around 298 hugs.

It is true a hug can make your day. I mean have you ever been hugged by a perfect stranger? Nothing perverted, just a good ol' hug. I did once. o.O As scary and random as it was I'd be lieing if I said it didint' make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Where's all this hate coming from? We may live in a cynical world, but there's nothing wrong with trying to change it or make some kind of difference.

That video was touching. I liked the song as well.

I could of sworn I recognised the location, then I saw it on the News a few days ago. :)

Bloody hippies, get a haircut!

Pretty "aww", I'm surprised they got 10,000 signatures in what seemed like one location, I wonder how long it took?

I dont know why we are such a hug depraved society. I dont even like getting a hug from a friend .Maybe a disgustingly corny campaing like this could change that...

Using the video as an excuse, you should give it a try. See if you like it :D

I got a friend of mine to overcome his fear of hugs.

When he finally hugged me back in a caring way instead of a "hug her back and she back away quicker" way, I was so happy.

I like hugs.
