Free Hugs in New York City

[24sweetroller7]

In my travels to New York, it would be fun to hook up with a free hugs flash mob! All it takes is one or more people to get it started, then let the love flow...!

[GuruRawr]

@NaRuToLeGnD1414 MAKE PEOPLE FOR JUST A SECOND HAPPY :) UNLESS!

[NaRuToLeGnD1414]

@GuruRawr Is not there another way for people to be happy?!

Thus will move a lot of diseases among the people

I do not know why, but felt disgusted when I see this type of video

[havethisbookcom]

FREE HUGS;^)

[flekone1]

song??????

[snookiekat11530]

Why do you all criticize what they did? Anything can make someones day, even a simple hug.

[TangOfThought]

First Moby is talking about this being a secret message of white power and how the rock music is supposed to brainwash people. Now he's saying how it's making America 'soft'. Free hug videos are not making people soft. If you're saying this is doing such a thing, then you might as well ban Disney movies because they reach a hell of a larger audience than we do.

Yes, Moby, you did say things about the music..."i think its white power in disguese cuz all these movies had hardcore rock n roll".

[theskabat717]

i really love the things these ppl do... just making ppl feel better about there day... love it

[schultzy70]

Did you have any trouble with the police like Juan Mann did?

[TangOfThought]

No we didn't, actually. We even tried to hug an officer but they nicely declined. I guess it has something to do with policing ethics or some such. That or he was shy.

[shirye]

@TangOfThought

you could easily hug an officer and take his gun or anything else.

Police don't play that!

[SteelChains]

@TangOfThought Or it was because they dont want people doing a fast one and sneaking something off them

[kopwner]

@schultzy70 the police in new york dont care about anything

[gjetaj]

HUGS FROM ALBANIA

[SaMMenTt]

[TangOfThought]

Also, do listen to the songs and at least research their history. "What is Love" is by a black man, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" was originally by two Jewish guys, and come on, Gloria Gaynor! I'm sorry but I just don't see where the hidden "white power" message is. How dare YOU try and tarnish New York City's name with YOUR bullshit.

[krnjingles]

Mobydee or w.e didnt you say in quotes " I think its white power in disguese cuz all these movies had hardcore rock n roll" now your changing what you said how this is making New York soft. I understand this is your opinion, but in my opinion I think reciving hugs from others are show that people in the world care.

Yea im not bitching about it. Its you whos doing all the bitching here ^.^

[TangOfThought]

Wow, BIGMOBYDEE, you're an idiot. I'm not sure if you can tell, but everyone, well almost everyone, who is doing this video is Asian.

The only way music will fuck up someone's mind is if that person's mind is already fucked to begin with.

[BIGMOBYDEE]

MMaaaaynnnn dis is sum bullshit... its only white people that doo these kinna things.. i think its white power in disguese cuz all these movies had hardcore rock n roll. n plus i live in new york.. u start listing to roll and rock u gon be fucked up in tha mind.. have u on sum wack mode! ..fuk dis hug shits gay. how dare they try to reppresent new york fuckin city

[robbibt]

Mate, get a life. If you can't see the obvious beauty and goodness in this video, something is seriously wrong with you.

[BIGMOBYDEE]

An You Robo bitch i have too much of a life ahead of me dis video does not colab with anything in my state if you want to hug in New York Go down south where tha Forsest n county is at. there is livin life out there. an i do show wit cypress hill what are u smokin son

[robbibt]

I'm from Australia. Sure, express your opinion, but I just think you're completely missing the point of this video.

And it's not only white people who do this. There are Free Hugs videos from Korea, China, Mexico, Brazil, Japan, India, Lebanon... They don't seem too white to me... It's the whole point of the movement, no matter what you look like or what your life is like, a single hug can bring a flash of happiness and love into someones life. Surely that's worth it?

[Boogiebuster]

Well said Robbibt!

A flash of love in someones life can make a big difference short term and long term aswell :D!

[heybaybee616]

lol i have such an urge to go out there and do that...

but i wouldnt want to be a copier like many others

[TRUTHBETOLD10]

not about copying, your missing the point its supposed to spread. Do it without trying to be original. Love is alredy orginal enough. Its the thought and action that counts.

[heybaybee616]

chances our you wouldnt get beaten up. if they didnt want would, they would at least be polite.

look i live i nyc. the city it self.

i would know.

lol i want a free hug.

[calatuba]

I'm tired of free "hugs"; they need to start doing "free grab tits".

[TangOfThought]

Indeed, you caught us, Nihilanth, it was filmed in a fake New York. The fake Times Square took us a while to build in my back yard and boy, the extras were quite the hassle, the upkeep was just insane!

[narutoislove]

it is not a fake video ur just another stupid person that thinks bad about new york

[GreatIntellect13]

when did this free hug idea start?

[Nihilanth1982]

fake video. if you try and hug someone in nyc, chances are you'll get beaten up. the people in nyc are so full of shit.

[JadeTsukasa]

That's odd because I just gave someone a free hug a few days ago. I saw a lot of people doing it too. Seriously New Yorkers are nice.

[calatuba]

fuck new york anyway; you guys can eat shit

[manicompulsivo]

BIG HUG from orizaba, verucruz. Mexico !!!

[ldawoj]

Free Hugs from NYC!

[pituzofi]

[witchypoo32]

Great idea!! I booked my first trip to new york yesterday for jan nxt yr...sooo xcited!.. Sending free hugs

[chinesepoet]

Yeah,new york is known as its tolerance.

I dream of going there>>>

[LaVelaPuerca999]

That's too good. You're very cute to did this :) Hugs from a german girl from hamburg. Go on with that show !! PS: May I have a free hug?? ;)

[newdass01]

[CloudGaioStrife]

I bet Wunpawng is a 28 year old fat man that masturbates on gay porn with his mom holding his d!ck

[MeGaMcFlyLovEr]

Love it

[TangOfThought]

DON'T READ THIS! In the year 2007, there was a story about a story that was intended to fool gullible and superstitious people into doing unnecessary acts of posting and spamming. There was once one person who didn't care about the story and the day after he didn't, nothing happened! To be saved from nothing happening, paste this to three hundred and twenty two other videos. THIS IS TRUE!

[rooooooxie]

yeah yaeh...new york...

[ubertin]

Wunpawnq, as always, you're useless, copying and pasting your worthless utterances.

[disciple4Christ]

If I saw you guys, I'd give you a hug. lol Some of them people looked scared.

[Wunpawng]

You guys are nothing more than pretending! Free hug campaigners are just impostor because I saw in the other hug campaigns that campaigners just pass by street beggars without even look at them. It shows that it is so genuine, so called love spreading.

By the way,

Nobody want to receive your damned hug! Do you know why? Because you guys are unbearably stink! Tip, please make sure you take deep shower before your damned hug campaign!

[krnjingles]

your a fwaking loser go suck our d!cks cause they loved the free hugs and we didnt beg u prick..fwaking bumbaclot

[SidewalksOfNY315]

Only in New York. LOLLLLLL!

[iamrebecca]

omg u guys are soo crazyyyyy

[Y2ANJ]

Brillian.

[Hugguru]

All you free huggers out there...If you want to really make a difference in someones life you need appropriate hug technique. Aquire that here at the hugging seminar.

ht

[maddie00]

:D

[Wunpawng]

if you love hugs, then ask your stray dogs to hug you!

[syaoranpies]

lol some people looked like they didn't like your hugs >D

[philibertarthur]

arg i received a hug on that day but i cant see myself :(

[adrianlm]

I´m from spain and It´s an incredible video,keep on doing it

[Simplyshort]

You did it wrong! You're supposed to take in the hug, make it longer! Feel the hug. Hugs aren't full of joy if you rush it!

[Oopla11561]

hey its new york, everything is rushed :)

[zElmos]

To Lovers of Free Hugs: Come & see the brand new Free Hugs YOuTube Video Group by just copying & pasting http://www.youtube(dot-com)/gr­oup/FreeHugsMovement & of course fixing the (dot-com) part. There are now 65 beautiful videos from China to Italy, Argentina and more. And they all are about the original intention of giving UNCONDITIONAL free hugs to those that want them. The movement is exploding right now (NOv,06) with 5+ new videos added each day! It is amazing!!!

[xgobobeanx]

awesome job.. i did a free hugs in nyc as well.. check it out on my site :)

[jalabi99]

How come I'm never around when these free hugs are being handed out??? Especially when they're being given out by hot chicks??? Life is unfair, I tell you! :)

Good job people...but next time make the video clearer (the resolution of this one was pretty low).

[xgobobeanx]

this isn't my video- you have to click on my name to see my video

[Wunpawng]

why are you promoting your damned video? You are Hollywood star or what?

[michellex333]

lmao .. my friends called me crazy to want to do this ><. so this is adam right?
