Get Closer

90 second video. I really don't want to say too much about this, because the message is strongest if you go into it blank. It doesn't take up a lot of your time. Sound is not necessary for the message, though apparently the song used is powerful for some people.

I, uh, didn't find that particularly powerful, because I spent most of the video being creeped out by the giant cartoony bear, and wondering, "what ulterior motive does the person in the suit have for wanting a lot of hugs?" I thought it was going to be a child safety PSA or something with a twist ending.

Let's not go into what that says about my assumptions.

Actually, a LOT of the YouTube comments mention pedobear. :P

Hm. Maybe I'm wrong about how powerful it becomes when seen blank, since I didn't go into it that way?

Well, Alexa spent the whole video going "awwww," so I guess you're 1 for 2 in our house.

I had the same...ehh...pedobear reaction..."Why is there a giant plush bear in that street for no apparent reason?" etc.
