Elf’s Will Ferrell Has Himself A Goofy Little Christmas
Steve Wiley
Retriever Weekly Staff Writer
Picture this: a gangly guy about 6’3", dressed in a green suit with a matching hat and yellow tights, making his way through New York City in the most bizarre fashion, hopping happily across busy streets, giddily racing around in revolving doors to the point of heaving into a trash bin, plucking wads of already-chewed gum from a railing and "recycling" them, so to speak.
What is he up to? You’d expect people to be entertained by this silly spectacle, sickened by it, or maybe suspecting some kind of publicity stunt.

One website, www.grouphug.us, poses some of these questions, offering a cross-section of guilt and shame, a portrait of remorse, laid out over the course of over 400 pages. The layout of the site, still in "beta," couldn’t be simpler: a column along the left contains the main content- a random 9-digit number and a brief text message; on the right are the site’s motto and basic information: "the idea is for anyone to anonymously confess to anything. It actually feels kind of good to know that someone will read it."
This promise of anonymous catharsis is what has drawn countless surfers to the site, with the hope to release their inner demons across the World Wide Web. The results of this mass confession are occasionally funny or scary, often pitiful, but always strangely fascinating.
