FROM FREE HUGS TO FREE SEX

Remember the "Free Hugs" viral thing? That handwritten sign on a piece of cardboard, held by someone standing in the middle of the street, hoping some brave soul would go in for a little spontaneous affection. It became a full-blown phenomenon a couple of decades ago—a simple, feel-good gesture that, at the time, actually felt kind of revolutionary.

It all started with the “Free Hugs” movement back in 2004 in Australia, when a guy named Juan Mann hit the streets with his sign, just looking for a bit of human connection. It didn’t take long for the video to blow up on YouTube and turn into a symbol of hope, empathy, and human closeness—at a time when the world was already getting lost in screens and fast-paced routines.

A lot has changed since then. And while the cardboard + message + spontaneity combo is still around, let’s just say it’s taken a few… interesting turns.

TED TALKS

TED Talks (short for Technology, Entertainment, Design) are those short but punchy presentations — usually under 18 minutes — where smart, interesting people share ideas they believe are “worth spreading.” And to be fair, a lot of them actually are.

They started back in the '80s as a half-tech, half-artsy kind of event, but really blew up in the 2000s when the talks were posted online for free. That’s when it all went viral. Now there’s TEDx — local versions popping up in cities everywhere, with speakers of all kinds: scientists, activists, artists, teachers, ex-cons, even kids.

The talks are super polished, both in content and delivery. Everything is packaged like it’s the idea that’ll change your life. Sometimes it is. Sometimes... not so much. But the format hooks you: good storytelling, clear messaging, and a closing punch that leaves you thinking (or reposting it to look deeper than you actually are).

SLAVE LEIA OUTFIT

Carrie Fisher hated the metal bikini she had to wear as Jabba’s prisoner.
The famous “Slave Leia outfit” from Return of the Jedi was as uncomfortable as it was revealing. Parts of it were made of rigid metal, making it nearly impossible to move or sit normally. Every time Carrie leaned back, the costume would shift and expose more than intended, so the crew had to constantly fix it between takes.

Over time, the outfit—originally meant to sexualize the character—became an iconic (and very controversial) symbol of the saga. Carrie despised it, but with her signature biting humor, she took ownership of it and made sure everyone knew Leia was more than just a pretty face chained to a giant slug.



When Disney bought Lucasfilm, they began "cleaning up" the franchise’s image—and the golden bikini was one of the first things to go. For years, it had been a pop culture symbol (and a recurring fan fantasy), but Disney’s new direction wasn’t having it. In 2015, they stopped producing official figures, posters, and merch featuring the outfit, and many online stores pulled it from their shelves. The official line? They didn’t want to sexualize such an important female character… even though they’d been selling exactly that for decades.

The Slave Leia look even made it to Friends. In one of the show’s most iconic scenes, Ross tells Rachel that his biggest fantasy is seeing her dressed like Princess Leia—with the infamous bikini, of course. What starts as a punchline ends up confirming that the look had officially reached pop culture status, right up there with the most recognizable Halloween costumes.

Also—anyone out there who knows sign language and can help us figure out what this other girl is saying?

TIME TO START NORMALIZING IT

walter
Let’s be real… we love sex. If it were up to us, we’d be doing it every day. Multiple times, even. So how the hell is it possible that we don’t all have a sex doll at home?

What’s going on here? Is it the money? Could be—good ones don’t come cheap. Is it the taboo? Maybe. The judgment? Definitely. You hear stuff like, “That’s for weirdos,” “It’s not the same,” or “I don’t need that.” Come on, man. By that logic, you wouldn’t jerk off either because “it’s not the same.” And we both know you do.
It’s like someone telling you not to get a microwave because real cooking should be slow and traditional. Cool, I get it—but I want my microwave and my slow-cooked meals too. It’s all part of the package!

It’s about time we start normalizing this. Because if it’s not the money, it’s the shame. And if it’s not the shame, it’s the fear of what people might say. And you just can’t go through life like that.
