Free Hugs in Dubai!

[expressiveification]

If this girl ended up hugging a middle aged man, the headlines in the Western Newspapers would have bee: "Suicide Bomber attempts to rape as shopper". So yes, there is a great difference in culture. It's also highly inappropriate for young girls to start hugging people they do not know who may be serial killers, pedophiles etc.

Silly concept for silly people. All you westerners have to be is nice and just smile to passerby's - despite looking Muslim:)

[XxXdragurlifeXxX]

Must've been embarrassing.

[pawalerohan]

They would have got more responses if it was more like..... "Free fucks!! Free fucks!!"

Ps : what does culture has to do any thing with this ?! like duh ?!!!

[jaredsluver]

BAD CHOICE LOL

[CUTEmusume]

مرحبا ^^

انها فكرة رائعة لكن لا يمكنك تغيير عادات و تقاليد شعب ^^" نحن العرب لدينا عاداتنا و تقاليدنا التي نلتزم بها

كما انه شئ محرج أن تحتضنين رجلا أو شخصا لا تعرفينه !!

Hello ^ ^

It's a great idea but you can not change the habits and traditions of the people ^ ^ "We Arabs have our customs and traditions to which we are

It is also something embarrassing that you hug a man or unknown person !!

[Aviator411]

wow... I'm amazed that you think that the UAE should be the same as Ireland. It's a very different culture and we don't know what Christmas is either. Maybe you should try to get more in touch with the local culture.

[nokin80]

loooooooooool ahahah try this at dfc and try a bigger boards!:P

[jimbob202019]

I WOULD OF SOOOOOOOOOOO GAVE YOU A HUG :P

the people their are no fun :(

Only been dubai 3 times in my whole life and its sooo COOL but you cant kiss your gf in public :( thats my only down side because i can think of.

[TheReemo22]

@jimbob202019

Bout the kissing part, you can, cz you " western ppl " started to control our cities. so believe me , kiss ur girl as u want, no one will do a thing to u .

And you are in an Islamic country, respect that and if you don't like it , get the fuck out of here ^_^

[jimbob202019]

@TheReemo22 ohhhh get out of your country ohhh you mean the one built by imagrants from places such as india thailand nepal korea!!!

OHHH THAT COUNTRY BUILD BY OTHER PEOPLE THAT YOU LIVE ON lol history will look back at your dubai and wont give any credit to the arabs, instead it was made by the hands of other people!!

Its not like you ass holes did anything accept FIND OIL and live off that lol i've gone of your sand pitt sorry!!!

its just a over rated bit of dust

[TheReemo22]

@jimbob202019

First, I was born in Abu Dhabi but I'm not from UAE .

Second, I'm Arabic, My Parents came to this country and worked their butt so stfu and don't dare to say that we don't have the credit .

Third, It's our oil ! we do what we want ! Fuck off !!! it's our money and we wanna send it in the way we

want .

And your comment just made me realize that you are more ignorant than what i thought.

Yes, UAE was a desert AND THE PPL THEIR ARE PROUD THE SHIT OF IT !!

[antizionfighter]

Who want to hug these two ugly loonies. Seriously The Muslim countries should ban these scum to enter. Respect or GTFO

[Russelbrother7777]

[Russelbrother7777]

[1538honda]

no hug just fuck lolxxx

[aziz1ful]

ahahahha

[over18irish]

Idk if you knew this, but the Free Hugs Hampaign has a song "All the Same" by Sick Puppies, used for free hug videos.

MY ADVICE: Use MUCH bigger signs/thicker markers. Don't run around waving it, stare at the camera, or yell, let people come to you. Stand in one place as people walk by. People don't want to have to chase after you. stare at the camera. Camera should be held fairlystill. Try wearing a solid-colored shirt or free hugs shirt. Always have an adult present.

[over18irish]

I mean don't stare at the camera, oops. btw, nice singing at the end =P

[banisai007]

wow,,,oh my God where i was on that day.?.if i was there on that day i was trying to give free hugs.... awesome.... i am from UAE

[icyfreeze209CP]

go up to your address bar, put the letter "Q" between the words you and tube

[Bia1stReporter]

Why?

[icyfreeze209CP]

it was a thing were u can win 400 dollars by posting that on 10 videos for me but if u try you will see what happens

[Bia1stReporter]

Its blocked here. Must be porn or something xD

[Uncrackedkorn]

cONTINUED .......... none of the arabs hugged due to their conservative nature but we had a very good responce from the europans americans lebanese people etc :-)

u need help from abu dhabi im there :-)

[Uncrackedkorn]

Never back down :-)

U.A.E locals etc are very conservative :-/

in my home town Mumbai - India i went to a mall i just wore a free hug shirt and around 30 ppl came and hugged me :-)

ppl here just dont know about it dont go to malls for hugs choose open spaces like ummmmmmmmm i cant relly tell in dubai but i live in abu dhabi i did it once i walked from airport road to the corniche with 7 of my friends :-)

[Mr3ajeeb]

I love the idea !! try it this year .. ill join .. do it in DFC or Dubai mall people there are more HUGGABLE xP !!

[stomptraze]

wesley?!!??!

[Bia1stReporter]

Yup that's her =P

[SuperCrabbygirl]

Free hugs in Dubai - couldn't these people realized that this should be a very conservative city? Couldn't they observed how the locals lived? You don't need to research girls, just look around and you'll find out what I mean. Free hug is a brilliant idea and it worked in lots of countries and it's even touching to see people hugging people. You forgot to consider "culture", free hugs movement is beautiful, but careful as it may be offensive to others, so just do it with somewhere applicable.

[ROFLNotANerd]

when i try to give free hugs at my ass kicked by a gang of 16 year olds ..never free hug by ur self

[Bia1stReporter]

@ROFLNotANerd That's sad..

[arabiology]

If i ever encounterd you, i'd tear up your sign and........HUGGGGGGGGGGGG you

[jr22hon]

Good idea but don't force it. Let people come to U.

[SamuraiDogKyo]

[Bia1stReporter]

Damn, this world needs more love. =]

[gla300]

Acting like a tough guy behind the monitor, huh ?

I dare you to tell me your address, you will see what will happen to you.

You should be grateful that you live in this country, if you don't like us or our country then please get the hell out of it, don't worry we won't miss you...

[gla300]

As I remember, this video is about Dubai not about Iran...what are you doing here ?

[TheFreestyler999]

[TheFreestyler999]

i dont care about the girls i am not interested in that i care that some people dont respect the history and the culture of dubai and middle eastern countries ... Watch i am going to dubai in the summer if i see any people asking other people for hugs i will i WILL I WILLL..... do nothing ;) but i respect the girls in the video at least they tried and in some ways they accomplished their goal please come to egypt and give us free hugs i would love that wouldnt u ?

[14deathsoul]

yah u right u got a point =P

[TheFreestyler999]

i wonder who the hell came up with the term sand nigger where i live in egypt we never make fun of americans we may hate the government and the media for thinking badly about us but we never call the people 'sand niggers'

[gla300]

You really don't know what you are talking about...

Check the history books then come and replay, this place is for matures not for kids and trolls like you.

[ahmad5155]

haaaaaaahahahahaha .. i want free hug .. :P

im in al ain now .. when i go to dubai i will get a hug hehe .. :P

[nav599]

Free Hugs lol!, try doing that in Sunderland! You will get stabbed!

[gla300]

Of course no body will give you free hugs in Dubai unless he is a pervert, because you do know that free hugs are against the tradition of the UAE....

[Bia1stReporter]

Yeh it does go against the culture but it was only in the mall nd i wasnt targeting any locals around the premisis so as to not cause offence in any way =P. Alot of ppol do actually try to do this here in dubai mostly kids hugging kids obviously so its not totally uncommon..

[gla300]

To be honest, almost 90% of foreigners who came to UAE just won't understand that we Emiraties are very sensitive when it comes to our traditions and religion. You can do what ever you want, but please don't do it in the public, I myself have seen many English people kissing in the parking areas and sometimes in front of us which is very disturbing to me and I've to go and tell them to do it in their homes or Else !!!

Sorry for being hostile but seriously respect our culture.

[dsgorham]

Yeah, you need a giant poster!

[doha606]

come to doha 4 hugs

[SuperKezia]

From Qatar, Middle East

[tosh1988]

the ppl thought u were sayin "free hugs" to the cameraman/cameralady so thts why they didn't give u a hug :-)

[SkaterChick008]

:) my friends Brad, Nate, Jay, and I do that a lot lolz we got like 2 hugs the first time and over 20 the next! :) though we have a bigger sign with lots of colors..and we sometimes just run up and hug random people...but still....u should say ello then ask if they would like a hug

Love, Nikki Nak

[Bia1stReporter]

xx

[Bia1stReporter]

[password181189]

[SexyKillerz]

LOL u need a bigger sign!! WITH COLORS! O_O i wonder wat the last part has to do with free hugs.. xD

[zedgelover]

lol...XD

-bood-

[solecontroller]

[rey379rey]

[izzygotgame]

LOL

XD

[RachelxSevenTeen]

xD Hahaa! Lol Funnnyy. ^^

[klfoxii]

OMG; what stupid antics; you're trying to recreate in a muslim federation what Adam did in Belfast. Are you from the UAE or just there as a student or with a relative working in the country? You sound American to me and you have a lot to learn about cultural differences and avoiding setting yourself up to look like a thorough idiot.

[Bia1stReporter]

ill have u kno arabs r a small percentage of ppol in dubai most of the ppol r expats. i still dont see how hugging ppol will offend der culture! i hav lived here all my life thnk u very much and if u hated it so much y did u favourite it?!

[klfoxii]

Ah, whatever! Still Stupid. DUBAI IS NOT BELFAST. I guess that you know best. I put it in My Favorites so that I could navigate back to it easily without giving you any additional benefit that would have come by my subscribing to your channel, although temporarily. Just as easily as I added it to My Favorites, I can remove it. There! Done! Now, I'll let you have the last word. TaTa.

[xpurpleJo]

is this ur 2nd hater? lmao.

Coool. You hav haterss!!!

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. xD

[stellaXluna]

Was that a grand total of one hug? Horrible. You guys weren't doing it right. Approach people in a nicer way.

If that's not it, then it absolutely must be the signs. Bigger is better.

Peas.

[thexblackestxheart]

dont talk bout somethin u dont know!!!
