"Christian Side Hug," By Popular Demand
Today, well not today, but tomorrow, but kind of today, is about reflecting on the past year and putting things back into perspective, because life is precious, and God, and turkey, and your family, and the Bible. It's also about the spirit of sharing and generosity, and engaging in the social construct with your fellow man. It started when the pilgrims set aside their smallpox blankets for one day, and provided the savage Indians with mashed smallpox and candied smallpox. So who am I to stare into the face of this tradition and deny giving my fellow man (or woman! We are all super equal now give or take a couple of glass ceilings, political movements against some of us's right to marry, and institutional racism). And so, here is what you want, clearly. Give you dat Christian Side Hug!
Thanks for the tip, Daniel, Zach, Paul, Chris, and Carolyn!

I bet all the gunshot sounds and police sirens convinced the audience just how rough these riders filled with Christ's love really are. Or maybe they figured they needed all the garbage on the track to mask the audible laughs and groans...

Oh yeah, I know about this. I think it's pretty much directed at guys exclusively, because if you front-hug a girl, you know, you're ALWAYS just doing it so she will rub her boobs on your chest. And then your clothed genitals and what-nots will rub because, you know, LUST! And since they believe that girls aren't interested in sex, girls will continue to give you front-hugs, so guys should always be on their guard and them before they get too close. And also because "EWWW, a PENIS!"
Score = 21
"stop" them before they get too close.

You're being really inappropriate right now, Front Hugger.
Seriously? If you were such a rough rider, you'd be able to keep your boner in check just because someone put both their hands on your back.
Score = 26

Hmm. So, convinced that this video was a joke even before I watched it, I went and googled and now I'm pretty sure that this is not QUITE as ridiculous as it seems.
Like, clearly this is a Comedy Fake Rap, but less clearly, it is an attempt to make light, in song, of an actual "no PDA" policy at the xian youth conference where this performance is taking place. (Here is their comedy fake rap about not bringing food or beverages into the sanctuary.) So really they're just trying to ban front-hugs at the conference, so that it doesn't, like every other gathering of young people in the world, turn into a gathering of face-sucking ass-groping teens, because nobody wants to see that, except me, which is why I have these binoculars, and this van with dark tinted windows.
In other words, the Internet has been PUNK'D AGAIN, this time by actual Christians being semiïntentionally, instead of unintentionally, funny.
Score = 32

Wow. This is horrible (first instinct was to say "god-awful"). This is as far from the real point of Christianity as Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are from good acting.

These crazy boners need a Satanic Sideswipe to the head.

i want to be all defensive about this video and commentary. As a christian in youth ministry i get that this is a joke and is in no way a serious thing, but more of a satirical commentary on the christian ridiculousness out there that is becoming prevalent. These types of over characterization of christian BS is common among groups such as youth for Christ and Young life. that being said, yes this ricockulous and silly. it is what it is. so let it be written, so let it be done.

Maybe their baptist. Our baptist youth camp when I was a kid had a sign up in the hall stating "No dancing".
I don't remember a sign warning about front hugs but maybe we were all too young to know of such evil.

@ 3:15 there is a vastly underrated gem:
"So if you end up here, then go ahead and scream it/ when I hug YOU i leave room for the HOLY SPIRIT!"
And by "holy spirit," he undoubtedly means the rough-yet-knowing hands of a priest.
