Event Details-

World’s Largest Group Hug

Saturday, February 12th at 7:00pm

Meet at the front entrance to Compuware

Inside Detroit, a nonprofit whose mission is to promote Detroit as a preferred destination to live, work and play is leading the charge to attempt to set the Guinness World Record for the Largest Group Hug right here in Detroit.

Inside Detroit wants to get Detroiters and Detroiters-at-heart involved now to bolster excitement for, and participation in, the attempt by selling buttons that say “I Hug Strangers in the D”. Buttons are only $1 and are available at the Inside Detroit Welcome Center located at 1253 Woodward (one block from Campus Martius Park).

The record-breaking hug attempt will be made Saturday, February 12, 2011 at 7:00 p.m. during Detroit’s annual Winter Blast Festival. Supporters of Detroit will be asked to gather around Campus Martius Park in an attempt to break the record set in Transylvania in 2009 for the most hugs at one time. More than 10,000 people will need to “hug” Detroit to take the record.

What’s the over/under on the number of murders and assaults directly attributable to the Detroit Group Hug?

Classic liberal solution to the slow death of a once great city: suggest a group hug.

Classic conservative solution to the slow death of a once great city: suggest laws that don’t punish businesses for creating jobs near that city.

I wonder when they will try the conservative solution, or should I say “if”.

Did they get this idea from Obama? It sounds like something he’d advise to fix the economy. He’s good at stuff like that.

LOL My brother in law works at Compuware in Detroit. I’ll tell him to lock his wallet in his desk before the group mugging.

Ugh.... I hate being in crowds, and the thought of thousands of people purposely jamming together with me in the middle.... ugh. Gives me the willies, just thinking about it.

On a practical level, God help them if somebody starts pushing.....

Must be Friday - I saw “Guiness”, and all I could think about was beer.

My first thought was of that mob bursting through the door to get “0bama money”.

Detroit: We’ve destroyed our city, bankrupted our state, and weve crippled the American automobile industry, but we’re home of the worlds record for a group hug. We are the prototype for Obama’s America.
