These kind of videos always hit me in the feels – http://www.youtube.com/embed/7-xviTkKrqo. It’s not that I still love over-sized cuddly characters (although I do), it’s that the medium for sharing a video about physical contact is so physically separated. There’s no haptic feedback on technology, however well it helps us communicate in the written form.
(TL;DW: A man in a bear suit is asking for hugs)
