The hug shirt helps you feel distant loved ones
posted Apr 25th 2005 7:46PM
These days you can send your hug lovin' via pillow,
cellphone, or
furniture — hell, you can even
fondle your chicken remotely if that's your thing. Here's
a wearable way to spread the love: the F+R Hugs is a soft Lycra shirt with embedded sensors that allows you to feel the
hugging sensations of a loved one far away. The hug shirt works via mobile phone networks to transmit the heart beat,
touch and body temperature of a remote companion in realtime, generating the sensation of a real hug. Actuators in the
shirt are embedded at major body intensity points for the most strategically "real" sensation (just look at that guy
and tell us he's not feelin' it.). There — now who said technology is making us more
antisocial?

Can you get them as underpants? :-p
I thought I had something interesting to say but the first comment sort of covered it...
can you say waste of money
empty pockets is a virgin and has bad taste in music.
(waits for the 'i get some every night' speech)
The guy in the photo modelling this product -- uh... no comment.
C'mon, don't mince words #4 - that guy is PURE HOMO.
Not that there's anything wrong with that - but it is obvious which demographic the photo is attempting to appeal to. Tight shirt on skinny femme-boi - you'd think they could at least find a shirt that FIT.
Times must my tough for Michael Bolton if he is doing promo ads...
crap... somebody beat me to the "Michael Bolton" comment.
This is the kind of gift you get from your girlfriend that makes you wish you were single.
This product is a dud without em pants.
It's actually not Michael, it's Owen Wilson..
the guy is a combo of Michael Bolton and Perry Farrell from Jane's Addiction.
He looks like a young Bill Maher.
Yes i would like that underpants version for that "being groped" feeling.
Here I thought it was Slim Goodbody. It would make sense, y'know.
