racist hugs. aborigionals were ignored.

[VincentMarx]

GREAT video! Hey, I'm trying to find someone who will do this on Sep 21 (International Day of Peace). I'm making a collaboration video with countries from all over the world. Believe it or not, Australia is the only continent not yet represented. If you search Vincent Marx on Facebook and Free Hugs for World Peace, you'll find the Facebook page. I'll send you a video response in a minute. It's a promotional video I made.

[MissAllyKat3]

I live in Tassie, I so wanna do this! Looks like a lot of fun. Too bad I have anxiety =/

[kruz200]

too bad i am too suspicious for something like this. because you never can know what kind of bloke will hug you.

[xxxPaigeyD93xxx]

[guitarg0d7007]

I'll probably be Doingg this on the gold coast soon, but people might think it's alittle weird considering I'm only 14.

[vinycomb]

@guitarg0d7007 i was only 16 at the time i did it, then i had one of my friends brothers do it who was 15 at the time so you're not much younger than us. do it now! i reckon the younger you are, the less creepy you seem and the more hugs you'll get!

[guitarg0d7007]

@vinycomb Thnx hope u could make your way to the gold coast and do the campaign with me. If any1 else wants to join in on the free hugs campaign on the gold coast jutt message me. Also does any1 no about any laws regarding free hugs on the gold coast?
