“

When it comes to the full spectrum of expressing affection for your fellow humans, let's face it, it's a pretty thin gruel. We took to the streets and asked a wide sample of strangers to show us affection as a test, and by our final tally the only ways humanity has to tell someone they care are awkward hugs, backing away nervously and administering pepper-spray shots to the eyes. — Love & War Update publicity blurb
