AlmereStars Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 There's a campaign going one, Free Hugs. it's now running for a few months, and last sunday I saw them in Amsterdam. I think it's a good campaign, cause hugging is just nice what do you think about this campaign? should it fit in a Theme park or not??

GMAN962 Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 I think it's an ok idea. However there are those people who get "into" thier hugs, it could be potentially dangerous. Anyway, I think it'd fit into a theme park, but not SFMM! -Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I've also peeps at my school do it. It's pretty awesome. I mean who doesn't want a free hug? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollerholden Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 I saw a man doing this when I was in line outside Target at 5:30 AM the day after Thanksgiving. I guess it's nice, it can really make someone's day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reality15 Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 ...Jahan, for some reason I can't see that one working too well. I wore a Free Hugs shirt around campus today. I totaled 26 hugs. Not bad for the start of the Free Hugs campaign in West Michigan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterman7 Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Yeah, It's a great idea! I wore my shirt on the last day of the 1st semester at my middle school. I got, I think, about 11 hugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 I thought my friend started that during a youth gathering back in 2004. Eventually that word spread around the entire gathering of like, 20,000 people and free hugs were popping up everywhere. I like these types of things... a hug is always a short burst of security, even if it is from a stranger... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxo Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 ^ Until that stranger flips out a knife and shanks you. Hugs are fun, but I would be weary of a random dude giving hugs at the mall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbpia Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I can't believe that this thread is on its second page and Barry hasn't made it extremely wierd and uncomfortable yet.

Calaway Park Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 All the people that are saying "If a stranger ran up to me and gave me a hug I would kick his __" are completely WRONG. The free hugs giver doesn't give you hugs, the people that want them hug the caregiver. Free hugs reminds me of Challenge day, the first day I've ever seen my whole school burst into tears about their own life. Saddest day ever. Challenge day was supposed to open our hearts to the people around us, of course, it never changed the school... People are just too worried about their image. I LOVE this campaign, but the sad thing, is that it will never change anything, because this world is just too closed minded, and everything is taken out of proportion. A free hug just means somebody cares, but if someone sees a stranger hugging a child, the only thing they can think of is pedophile, and probably find some way to sue them, just because this world is so greedy. I love campaigns like this, but the sad thing, is that the modern nature of people would never accept it, which is why the campaign was banned.

AlmereStars Posted February 8, 2007 Author Share Posted February 8, 2007 i agree with wat your saying, people are too closed minded (it's a bit better here in holland though) but I think this campaign also helps people think more open minded, and to learn people that they don't always be afraid of strangers, a lot of them are really nice too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neogreeneyez Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Just think about the spread of germs that you're going to get from hugging someone you don't know.... yum for the spread of the common cold! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
