“No Pants” Subway Ride a Hit the World Over

For the twelfth year the No Pants Subway Ride encouraged the public to don their underwear in public, just for the hell of it. The event is the brainchild of a group called Improv Everywhere, and the 2013 No Pants Subway Ride drew thousands of pantless people to participate in cities all over the world. Underwear clad transit-goers were seen in Sweden, Toronto, Mexico City, Berlin, and dozens of other cities, as well as the place where it originated – New York City.

The event appears to serve no discernible purpose other than randomness and entertainment value.
