FREE PUNCH TO THE FACE

Yesterday as I was walking through the world's first public, open-air insane asylum(Harvard Square, Cambridge), I saw something that made me stop in my tracks. Not the fat tattooed lesbians with purple hair, nor the automobile parked T-bone style in the middle of the street in front of the news stand, but a few signs.

"FREE HUGS."

Held by 3 or 4 unnatractive people standing in front of the entrance to the train stop.

It really didn't suprise me, since the city is filled with attention seeking hippies who have nothing better to do than walk around handing out pamphlets, spreading the stench of patchouli, and gathering with their friends in public places just to piss everybody off.

Also not surprising, was I did not see anyone take them up on their generous offer.

I googled it up, and there's a whole "Free hugs" movement sparked by one lonely dork. Quite the inspirational story. He was lonely and wanted hugs. Good for him.

They should institute a "three punch a year" law, where it's perfectly legal to punch 3 people in public for douchebaggery. Next to "I stare at your girlfriend like she's an exhibit at the zoo" guy, "I walk in front of cars with no regard pedestrian" guy, I think I know who else would be on my list.
