New Jacket Hugs You When Someone "Likes" Your Facebook Status

Could get irritating when a post goes viral...

Designers have come up with a jacket that actively gives you a cuddle when someone says they like you on the social network site.

The "Like-A-Hug" jacket inflates when someone clicks on the "Like" button putting a little more reality into virtual reality.

Designed by MIT student Melissa Chow, who said it "allows us to feel the warmth, encouragement, support, or love that we feel when we receive hugs".

This is the perfect expression of the social networking phenomenon.

I've long thought something rude about people who click "like" on their own Facebook updates. Now it's even ruder.
