Clip of the Week - December 10/07

As the year quickly draws to an end I thought it would only be appropriate to post the YouTube clip that was voted Clip of the Year in 2006.

I have to admit that I really like this clip. The idea behind it is simple yet powerful.

This three and a half minute clip has been viewed over 21-million times on YouTube and is quite moving.

Here's the story behind the video...

Sometimes, a hug is all that we need. Free hugs is a real life controversial story of Juan Mann, A man whose sole mission was to reach out and hug a stranger to brighten up their lives.

In this age of social dis-connectivity and lack of human contact, the effects of the Free Hugs campaign became phenomenal.

As this symbol of human hope spread across the city, police and officials ordered the Free Hugs campaign BANNED. What we then witness is the true spirit of humanity come together in what can only be described as awe inspiring.


Enjoy!
