Funny video reveals how people react to hugs from strangers

So how'd it go? Well, smartly, they chose California's eclectic Venice Beach as their testing grounds, no doubt an environment more friendly to this sort of thing than, say, an urban downtown area. Still, it's an interesting look at society. Some people are more than willing to embrace a stranger and feel a connection; others aren't shy to offer up a stern "get away from me."
