Free hugs

wellard · 11-03-2007, 03:46 AM

Many of you will know about the free hugs campaign which began in Sydney a couple of years ago. Its 'you tube' hits now rate just over 19,500,000!

So have you seen it?
What do you think of it?
Is it a load of bollox?
Is more of this needed around the world?

Let's help it hit the 20 million mark ....

Awesome video!

And FYI, the Free hugs thing ranks about 20th on top viewed videos.

A video called the evolution of dance is the top viewed video with 63,099,924 views!

I'll try out the Youtube embed thing...

Careful you don't get detention.

Two hugs equals two days of detention for 13-year-old Megan Coulter.
