Back in 2007 I stumbled on a fantastic video on the Free Hugs movement, original post is here. Until today I didn’t realize just how widespread it was. So what I have done is consolidated as many videos as I could find, into this one post. These videos were the first thing I watched this morning, a good way to start with a smile. So here is what I’ve dug up so far… I’m sure I’m missing some, but you get the scope of how BIG this movement is…

I love it! Not because I’m a perv, but because….well because I’m a perv. No, no I actually think that is a pretty awesome event, nice to see people open themselves up to strangers like that. I wonder where the Free Hugs West Virginia video is though?
