Nothing is FREE!!!


Not far from the Meiji Shrine, at a very busy intersection, stood four youths holding up signs: FREE HUGS. I watched people, mostly tourists, go up to them and get free hugs. Naturally, I was suspicious. Were they religious zealots? Would they inject me with something? Plant an RFID chip on me? What would Jack Bauer do in a situation like this? Well, he'd probably torture them for information. I just watched more and more people get free hugs, and then I went home.
