That's true, when my friends and I are downtown if we see someone who looks or for some reason is epic or we think needs a hug we just go up and ask ^_^ Though Newfoundland his it's problems so does every other province, every other country and I still think Newfoundlanders are the nicest people I have ever met (My grandparents are from NL but I lived in Ontario for most of my life)
great video. You are right from what I have seen. I have lived other places and Newfoundland has a low crime rate (although crime is everywhere) and it is very friendly and beautiful. Thanks for posting this video.
Not EVERY one participates in our annual, Seal Hunt, that We have been doing for hundreds of years. 1. Baby Seals "white coats" have not been hunted since the 80's. 2. No clubs, clubs are banned from the hunt,3. guns are used for instant death. if you think this hunt is cruel then walk into a chicken farm, watch them get there beeks cut off in the first month of life. then tell me a instant death of a seal is crule, and look at the whole "hunting for Sport", killing for the antlers.
Hey Everyone! To see how nice warm-hearted hugglie-wugglie Newfoundlanders are & hug, kiss & care for Harp Seals, type "Seal Hunt" up at the top here on Youtube in the Search videos box! Can you believe a group of people could be capable of that much love? Love them to death. Hey, if Newfoundlanders are capable of such love toward a mother & her child, just imagine what they could express when it comes to their spouse & people too! GO Look! Check out the 3rd seal hunt video in search. *WarmHUG*!
NEWS: "St. Johns - A Newfoundland man has been charged with assault, enslavement, forcible entering, following a break-in on Mundy Pond Rd Friday. The Newfoundlander was arrested after police were called to the centre city home where he allegedly forced his way in, & attacked a woman."
"Newfoundland school teacher charged with assaulting autistic boy"
"Dunville man charged with 2 counts of sexual assault"
man your a sick fuck... like other places in the world havent had worse things like the USA hmmm lets see rape, gang voilence, drugs, everything in the book all the us is capable of is to produce hard criminals , so next time just think of that dick head
Good stuff, I heard about free hug day, I didnt bring a sign to school, but i still offered my hugs up to anyone. I was called a few names, but more importantly I made a few friends. Keep bringing the love, peace!
Nice up beat song , I thought it went together well personally. Stepping outside the box is cool, most people wouldn't have the guts to do what you did. I Liked it.. I really could use a hug but I'm way over in Edmonton Alberta, lol.
EEEEPPP!! It's my Janet and my Ashley :D:D:D I'll hug you two ladies anyday *rawr* hahahaha. I loved this video, and I loved that you did this at MUN (Memorial University of Newfoundland). Such a great idea, girls!!
If there's ever a Free Hug campaign on the go here in St. John's again, I'm definitely gonna be there with my sign, gettin' my hug thaaang on. :P
Because you have opened this... you will get kissed on the nearest possible Friday by the love of your life... if you don't break the chain. Tomorrow will be the best day of your life. However, if you don't send this to at least 10 people by the stroke of midnight tonight you will be forever cursed in love. Just copy and paste this.. Good Luck!
Noone knows everyone else in a uni. At least it would help connect a campus. It doesn't matter how foreign the neighbourhood you're hugging in is, it's still better than nothing. Considering it's a pair of girls doing it rather than a super-tall australian guy, I'd say starting somewhere comfortable is wise rather than in the middle of city. The point is, make it spread.
As for the music, again, better than nothing. The first made it lovely, this makes it cool. The point is to get it around!
To everyone who loves the Free Hugs Movement: come see the Free Hugs Movement alive and well from around the World--- Australia to Korea to Poland and much more in the new YouTube Free Hugs Group at youtube(dot com)/group/FreeHugsMovement !!! You are welcome to join and discuss with others and share videos.
i like how you creepy retards flock to anyone that stops, and then you almost seem to demand the hugs, the idea was good, but why cant you just go and do it, and not freak out and have to post it on the internet
I am all for the free hugs campaign but the problem I have with this video is why a University? I mean it's just to easy. The free hugs campaign should be on the city streets. Where you can meet all kinds of people, not just university students.
Who cares it they did it on a university campus, the hug campaign was for people that "need a hug", some students are far more stressed out than "people on the street". Whereever, whenever, and whoever shouldn't matter, as long as people are doing it.
I have been thinking about doing this at my college. Can you give me any pointers. Did you ask the college if you could do this or was it just random? thanks
I dunno, seemed to me that the music was appropriate enough. It looked like maybe the guys that came up just wanted to hug a girl. I don't know if or how much this video was sped up, but the hugs were of a rather short duration ... more like polite hellos than real heartfelt hugs. Just my opinion.
Great idea. I can't watch this though. Hearing (c)rappers butcher Dick Dale's music is more like a stab in the eye than a hug. Yeah, change the music. Use the original track not this rubbish. Happy hugging!
I want a free hug *pouts* Maybe I can hang around the UC randomly in hopes they'll come back... or offer my services around final exams when people really need the lovin' XD
ellywig, start your own movement darlin. that is what this is all about. If you aren't being hugged, you aren't huggin! Peace Hope you are hugged and hugged.

Are you a vegitarian? Are you completely free of animal products of any type?
If the answer to any of those questions was "no", and It's a pretty safe bet it was, please take your ignorant, smartass attitude elsewhere.
Otherwise, explain how that's different from raising cattle for food or any other type of livestock.
Newfoundland's not perfect. It's not all that special. It's also not some hick province with a bunch of barbarians.

Committing incest is a normal way of life in Japan.
There are NO laws against INCEST in JAPAN.
Japan is #1 in the world for giving births to babies with deformity, retardation, & illness due to countless incests.
Werner Syndrome (Progeria) is a permaturing aging disease.
It's inheritated.
Its cause is INCEST.
Over 80% of the people on earth with this disease are JAPANESE.
