Free Hug Campaign

Little Bird · 11-04-2006, 10:41 PM

Found this video on Lenedra Carroll's Yahoo 360 Page and found it really interesting

Have a watch!!

Video Description
Sometimes, a hug is all what we need. Free hugs is a real life controversial story of Juan Mann, A man whos sole mission was to reach out and hug a stranger to brighten up their lives.

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...

Music by Sick Puppies. (Visit http://sickpuppies.net or http://myspace.com/sickpuppies for the music)

PS. The response to this video has been nothing short of overwhelming and touching. Hugs to every single one of you who messaged. There has been thousands of emails from all over the world by people seeking to participate in the Free Hugs campaign and asking for permission. You do not need permission. This is the peoples movement, this is *your* movement. With nothing but your bare hands you can make THE difference.

Imagine all the people.

I saw that guy on Ellen? or Oprah? cant remember which, I think that is a really cool idea, there aren't enough hugs in the world!

Little Bird · 11-05-2006, 07:43 PM

I hugged my best freind yesterday, felt great, and he didnt even think i was gay!

i think everyone should hug someone every single day, in fact, im going to lobby google and see if they will make a special google graphic to encourage huggies'

women should be encouraged to hug women in public everytime

lalalala
dave.

Little Bird · 11-17-2006, 11:31 PM

Oh yeah- I completely forgot to send a big hug to everyone.

I hugged a colleague yesterday. I think I needed more than she did but it was still nice to do!

ItBeThatWay27 · 11-18-2006, 12:32 AM

I'm not too keen on hugs unless they are with my wife, but it's a nice thought... I am just weird w/ the touching of other people......

last_dance_rodeo · 11-18-2006, 12:41 AM

I never turn down hugs but I don't think I could ever hug a stranger.
