"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."

Babe, I just merged your topic with mines :)
Does anyone of you saw this in real?. I saw it in Chile last december and It looked to me like they were doing for "fun" that for real.
I mean, the guy who created the "free hug" thing was because he felt lonely, lost job, wife, everything (If I remember right) so he wanted to give hugs and feel other's people affect, not just for "fun"...
oops it looks like i completely missed this the first time, didn't even think of trying out 'search' first.
yes i think the original "campaign" was something but it became pretty lame when people started copying it everywhere just for fun of it. you can find dozens of versions on youtube but they are really nothing, whereas the original footage has something genuine to say.
and i just thought there was so much irony there, with the authorities banning it and then it being on the news and everything. simply because people banning other people for crappy reasons always reminds me of someplace else (hmm.............).
and especially because they used the excuse of "someone might get hurt".
HA!
