If you happened to be in New York City on Sunday you might have noticed a lot of people walking around without their pants on. That’s because it was NYC’s ninth-annual No Pants Day.
Men and women sans pants descended upon the subway systems of New York and other major cities as part of the annual event organized by the group Improv Everywhere.
The group said the event went off without a hitch and that about 3,000 people participated. Riders met at points around the city and converged on Union Square. This all happened while the high temperature for the day was 28 degrees!
There were simultaneous No Pants rides in 43 other cities around the world in 16 countries.
While there isn’t video available yet from this year’s ride, here’s a vid from the No Pants ride in 2008 to give you a sense of what you missed:

I think it’s pretty cool that this goes on. Our society is so stuffy these days, there are new laws being passed all the time prohibiting just about everything anymore. It’s nice to see this.
