mr. dzgnboy... but then i would have had a picture of you on the ground with my pointy toe boot up your nostril!

I noticed a similar... 'event' (?) on our high street too recently. I thought it was some student thing and walked on. Can't see how this would actually work, but I can see yet another brilliant image of yours.

Lab2112 says:

Yeah, moonw|re, what's your ultra-high contrast secret? I'll second Pete in wanting to know. ;)

I like the expression of all these people, especially "That Girl" (if you know the TV show reference) holding the sign over her head.

nice one! i was in Copenhagen, Denmark last weekend and there were these free hugs guys around too... it's some kind of sect or what?

Great shot -- wonderful expression on the faces of the huggers, and exceptional tones ... years ago I wrote a short story about a woman who applied for a government student-entrepreneur loan to start a hugging business. Now, if people are simply giving hugs away for free ....

Add a 4th for the "Secrets of Moonw|re's Processing" class!

I'm going to guess you kicking the sh*t out of dzgnboy would have ruined the feel good vibe being generated by the free hugs!

Excellent shot, were there takers on the hugs? [I'm going to guess you didn't take them up in the offer :-)]

There were kids running around the street fair yesterday with "free hugs" signs. I wonder if it was the same idea.

I have seen students in Madrid giving free hug in the street ; there was an explanation but in Spanish so i didn't understand why ... and didn't take any photos. It might have been for the same reason !
