Free Hugs changes the World
You Tube has become an amazing resource on local views and campaigns across the world. I’ve been a bit low at the moment with a cold and so have been surfing to cheer me up. I came across this amazing video which in the end got featured on “Good Morning America”. Why is that amazing I hear you say – well it was about a man in Australia giving away “Free Hugs”. Yep Hugs for Free – while we give away free broadband those clever guys down under must know something we don’t.
Juan Mann – returned to Sidney and thought people were a bit down. So he decided to do something about it. He decided to spend each Monday at his local Mall (shopping centre to us) giving away Free Hugs. Now I know here schools have banned Hugs because it’s a secret form of Bullying – but that doesn’t seem to be the case in Sidney. Nope hugging is still something nice and doesn’t involve a hoody in either a good or bad way.
Well all was going well until the council got involved. They closed down the campaign, demanding that unless he had 25 million Aus Dollars Public Liability insurance he couldn’t continue. I hope Tunbridge Wells Borough Council don’t read this – may give them some ideas. Well I won’t spoil the story – it’s worth seeing the video to see what happened next.
Once you have watched the Video – have a looka round You Tube and see how the ripples have spread out
