I just heard about an Aussie, who is giving out free hugs. He had lived in London for awhile, and when he came back, he didn't know very many people. He started to hold up a sign that says, "Free Hugs." He was banned by the police because they thought someone might get injured. Some of the people were taking running jumps at the hugs. After he got a petition signed by 10,000 people, the ban was lifted. Apparently it's been on YouTube, and several people are taking up the campaign in their own part of the world. Sounds like a real Browncoat type story.

If you're interested, you can check out a couple of the clips at:

This is my virtual FREE HUG to all of my FFF.net friends!

That is very sweet , VerseExplorer ! A virtual hug for you , mei-mei !

You know it's gotten to be a sick world when cops start banning hugs...

I want to know how it has gone with the thing you were doing with e-mailing Oprah . That is close to my heart since I had a similar thought . You might want to include the YouTube thingy with Meryl Streep introducing Joss for Equality Now and the thing with Morena accepting the Hugo for Joss . There are some great clips from the Firefly fandom on YouTube , also .

Thanks, Out2theBlack, a BIG hug for you, too.

I put the Oprah e-mails on the back burner because of the 'Versery Celebrations. I was just thinking about that this last week. I think I will try to get it started the 1st of November. I'm thinking that it doesn't really need to be all on one day. It's funny that you mentioned the YouTube clips. I was thinking that, too. I figured that we might be able to get to the people that open the e-mail notes.

I already tried this thread, people just starting acting like psycho's.

I hugged another man, once, when I was wrapped in barbed wire!

Let my spirit rise, Valkiries carry me.
Take me to Valhalla where my brothers wait for me.
Fires burn into the sky, my spirit will never die.

It's nice to start a day with a hug and end a day with a hug.

*Bump*

Just in case there is someone around today that needs a hug. I noticed that there were 215 readers of this thread, so there must be some lurkers that need a hug.

*Here's a BIG hug for all the lurkers and all Browncoats*

Hugs?.. pfft

The idea has merit though... I might try holding up a sign saying free sexual intercourse!

Imagine if a woman stod out on a street with a sign saying "free oral sex!" It'd be an interesting socialogical experiment wouldnt it. I reckon the response would be overwhelming.

I just had a thought for a comedy skit on something like Candid camera! You could have the woman standing on the street with the sign "Free Oral Sex" and when men approach her she says her girlfriend is waiting for them up in a hotel room. The eager men go up to the room where they find a large ugly woman waiting with legs apart for her oral sex..

A friend from a long time ago would stand at our hangout lot with a "Free Breast Exams" sign about this time of year. Ah the nostalgia.

Hehe.. boobs.

I bet he didnt get to perform many(if any) breast exams?

The injustice is that if a woman stood at your hangout with a sign saying "Examine my Breasts for free" she would most likely be inundated.

Does that seem right to you?
