If you've ever felt a 'like' on Facebook wasn't quite real enough, a US designer has unveiled a jacket that hugs the wearer every time they receive one.
Designed by MIT student Melissa Chow, the 'Like-A-Hug' is a wearable social media vest that allows for hugs to be given via Facebook, bringing us closer despite physical distance.
The vest inflates when friends 'Like' a photo, video, or status update on the wearer's wall.

Illegal immigration isn't a new concept in the US. Just ask the Native Americans.

I would only buy this jacket if it is made by 'North Face' or 'Memebers Only'. Heck, if I'm gonna be hipster I'm going all the way!
