Hee, thanks for the pimp! I tried to get every shirtless and boy-on-boy NEWS picture -- ever -- in that post, 'cause I knew it'd have a hard time living up to KAT-TUN. XD

But of course, my dear. Even if it freaks out some of my flist, I love your JE pimps so much - they are always hilarious and witty and full of what I love about JE: sex+dork.

Yeah, well, I think most/all of the Johnny's would have a hard time living up to KAT-TUN in that respect...but I thank you sincerely for your efforts. *grin* I have so much love for you taking on the task.

You're so very welcome. I was just floored by, as you said, the way things come full circle, and the photos are so provocative.

the photos are so provocative.

*nods* I'm glad you think so too. :) There is something about the way they combine beauty and horrible scenes that just gets to me. Robert Capa truly was a master at what he was doing. Slightly crazy yes, but extremely talented - and he had a good eye. I'm not sure I have a favourite photo of his, but the last one - of the young german prisoner - I like that one a lot.

Haha, that FREE HUGS video is so cool. I thought the guy was only going to get hugs from women and girls but it actually turned out to be quite balanced. I suppose that suprised me somewhat. Also, the song used in the video rocks! I must go and find it.

My bf showed me that FREE HUGS clips over the summer and I loved it, but I think this clip is longer than the original clip I saw, and I also love that music. It's so awesome how people joined him toward the end, so they became like this awesome hug club. That's what we all need to make our days a little nicer. FREE HUGS indeed! :)

I'm glad you liked the graphic XD I rather enjoyed going through my scans and picking out some dorky ones (though it really wasn't hard :D)~~

Wow! The Free Hugs Campaign! :O I was so surprised when I played the video and saw familiar surroundings ;) I must've been living under a rock for the past while, coz I don't remember seeing it on the news, but I do remember people holding the 'FREE HUGS' signs in the busy shopping streets :) I haven't gone for a free hug, but maybe I'll give it a go next time ^^ Gosh you're so right, I now have this big smile plastered on my face ♥

*big GIGANTIC hug* :)
