January 8, 2012 - Thousands gathered at many plazas such as Foley Square in Manhattan and headed towards the subway mid-afternoon to, you guessed it, drop their pants as part of a world-wide social networking event. This 11th edition seemingly drew more participants than in previous years for the cheeky event.
Their basic theory was to enter the subway system and undress in waves, giving a shock value to other riders. Somehow, I don't buy the shock value as many laughed at the sight of 'No Pants' on the NYC subway system. Believe it or not, there were rules for the participants:
1. No pants
2. No laughing (admittedly hard to do sometimes)
3. Enter the subway as a group, split up and remove your pants one at a time so it looks like a flower blooming
All in all, four thousand joined in the prank in the Big Apple coordinated by Improv Everywhere. If you missed it this time, check it out next year on the 1st Sunday of January.
