Some Japanese university students have invented a “hugging coat” that’s supposed to simulate what it’s like to be hugged by a girlfriend.

Even creepier, the coat only hugs you from behind, with messages like, “I’m sorry! I’m late.” How sweet. It creates a nice little date scenario where you can wait for no one in public and then not go to the coffee shop where you weren’t supposed to meet anyone.
I give mad props to the students for combating stereotypes. Clearly, this coat should have been invented by fans of The Hobbit.
Creepy yes, however, I would like to have a coat that says, “No honey your butt really isn’t THAT big . . . another glass of wine?” I’m feeling the creepy love already!
On the plus side of creepy, your coat always fits. No more “this is too big”. But still creepy. Do they make an athletic jock with similar features?
This could be the 2013 version of the hula hoop or the pet rock.
Is this the human version of the dog’s Thunder Coat? this is creepy!
I think it is! My parents’ dog has one of those!
