$100 hugs.
« on: February 09, 2014, 10:56:32 AM »
Saw a segment on the CBS 'Sunday Morning' show. Guy (and a woman) gets $100 to hug/cuddle/snuggle with people for 90 minutes. Some freaky UC Berkeley professor says we need more touching. I think some people have been touched to hard and to long already.....for free.

At $100 for 90 minutes about one day a week with 4 customers would keep up my unhealthy habits of smoking cigarettes and eating junk food.

Now really, how sour do you have to be that you have to pay someone to hug you.

On second thought, I've decided to just keep funding my bad habits the usual way.....working.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

I have to wonder if the people able who need such a "therapy" could afford it at that price.  I know the people who could afford it wouldn't want it.

I would give the $100 to a massage therapist  :-)

Hugs, not drugs. Say yes, then no !
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.
