The hug auction

The Christchurch Press has an article on the auction of a hug on Trade Me. All sounds very fun.

The actual auction is online here and bidding closes 9 pm on Friday. It is up to $165. Actually now $171 since I looked five minutes ago. 48 bids so far, with the Taihape woman leading.

There have also been around 100 questions asked and answered, which are quite amusing.

UPDATE: Price is now at $350 plus there have been two parodies. A very funny perverted hug auction and a not so funny therapeutic slap auction.
