NEW YORK (Reuters) - It's not about sex and all about the touchy-feely experience of snuggling up to perfect strangers wearing pajamas.

The grab fests are called cuddle parties, and since they started in New York in February, hundreds of people have paid $30 each to touch and embrace others in intimate gatherings.

Everyone needs to be cuddled, especially in lonely New York, say creators Reid Mihalko and Marcia Baczynski who say it's a good way to meet new and interesting people.

This is pathetic. This is what families are for.

"Families are places where people sit around in their jelly-stained bathrobes and get into vicious day-long arguments about who put the ice tray back into the freezer with the roach frozen in it." -- Dave Barry

Good thing they're all in one spot. Much easier to shoot them all that way.

And now for something completely different.
Ugh.

I'm breaking my self-imposed ban against talking to lawyers to say that I agree. ;))
