the police and the city council tried ot prevent him from doing it..
wanted a 25 million$$ public liability insurance taken out..


a hug really is quite special and heart warming when your down..

i know its one thing that always puts a smile on my face.

some one close gives u one of those hugs u just dont want to let go of!

and the musics pretty good too.

shenr
yeh the music sure does set the mood.
Yes hugs are great when u're down.
he should've worn better clothes and cleaned himself up a little and made a better sign but
DeLr
utube search, and there is interviews etc, explaining the concept behind it.

i like hte idea, of some one jsut saying.. well fcuck it.. everyones down.. ill give some one a hug and for that brief moment.. they will smile.. and their day will be just that little bit better.

I think what they actually need is some love. BUt on that note, they have created their own happiness out of misery. Being depressed for some is an addiction that makes them happy; as non-sensical and contradictory as it may seem...

Meh..
shenr
i know wut u mean tho. There are some people that just get off on being depressed. Like even in a good situation they search for sadness and unhappiness in that.
