    That would be a riot! :D

    But I could see that getting annoying for the person wearing the shirt. All these electrodes all over your body, going off at random times with no warning... :eek:

    Awesome shirt! I wonder if you could get electrocuted by water wearing that type of clothing?

    Technology is really something, eh? I would love to have one of em shirts. I'm far away from some really good friends and this would be a good way to remind them of me....

    Hehehehe

    You might get a heart attack as well!!
    Do this works according to the senders body specific hug. For eg a bear hug, paedophile hug etc.!!!

    May be it should generate the body odour of the person too!!

    I wonder how much one of them might set you back? It will probably be cheaper to catch a flight and see your loved one.

    The only problem would be if someone steals your shirt (Or even underwear :eek:) and your significant other would end up hugging somebody else for a week... Or even worse :eek:

    I haven't seen prices for them anywhere. But they must be cheaper than a plane ticket! Just how much would a ticket from England to Michigan cost? ;)

    Found this video about the Hug Shirt on YT... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cKuG-zI3f0

    Thats pretty neat.

    But surely with anything electrical in clothes then you wouldn't be able to wash them...
