Free Hugs Campaign

DrDevience posted on Sep 05, 2007 at 08:42AM
This campaign sweeping through Scandinavia didn't start here. It started with one man in Australia after a trip to London. His name is Juan Mann.

He just wanted and needed a hug that day, so he made a sign saying 'Free Hugs.' When the city banned this tidal wave of hugs, Scandinavia stepped up and grabbed the ball and ran with it.

I think it is outrageous that it got banned in Australia, and am proud of my adopted country of Sweden for taking up the gauntlet.

People all over the world are getting in on it, but Sweden has taken it to dizzying levels. Pass it on...
