Chair delivers real hugs for Facebook birthday wishes Brazilian restaurant Outback Steakhouse is trying to give Facebook birthday messages a bit of extra feeling with this birthday chair. Picture: ProXXIma Plataforma/YouTube Source: Supplied THERE'S something impersonal about a Facebook birthday wall post, no matter how well-intentioned. But a Brazilian restaurant thinks it has come up with the perfect solution: An only-slightly creepy chair with arms, hooked up to the birthday girl or boy's Facebook account and programmed to dish out a hug for every wall post they receive. In a video ad for the restaurant, Outback Steakhouse, produced by ad agency ProXXIma Plataforma, they declare that it's time to take the birthday hug back from electronic messages. "Facebook has killed the happy birthday hug, replacing those warm hugs with cold messages," the video says. Receiving a birthday hug from the Facebook chair. The chain of restaurants plans to have one chair in each of its restaurants in Brazil by the end of the year.
