We’ve seen a slight downtick in our “GOOD MOTHERFUCKING NEWS” submissions, but it’s nice to see that some of you are still keeping an eye out. One reader takes the words right out of our mouths, regarding today’s episode of Radio Times with Marty Moss-Coane:

Men are hugging each other more. Just warms the cockles of my heart.

Hour 2
We’ve noticed more and more American men hugging each other. And research has shown affection actually alleviates stress. What’s happening in our culture that is changing the way we physically express ourselves to each other? We speak to KORY FLOYD, Director of the graduate MA program in human communication at Arizona State University and MARK MORMAN, Associate Professor and Director of Graduate Studies at Baylor University.

This is a marked improvement over the Facebook show the other day, and while this is almost all the good news we’ll have for today — unless you count weekend picks, which we suppose is good news of a sort — let us appreciate the miracle power of BRO-HUGS this weekend. Give them, get them, collect them in a set. And keep that good news coming, people. We’d like to do this every day if we can.

So there you have it: The world is not totally made of shit. Have you got some good news? If so, send it to tips[at]philebrity[dot]com with “GOOD MOTHERFUCKING NEWS!” in the subject header — we’d love to hear about it. And if you send us your band’s show info with that header, so help us God, we will come to where you live and slap you across your bearded face. It’s called “GOOD NEWS” for a reason, pal.
