A comedic performance art group Improv Everywhere based in New York City carries out pranks, which they call “missions”, in public places.
Doing as their slogan says “We Cause Scenes” began an event with seven Improv Everywhere hooligans in 2002, and has since sprung into a global event, with thousands of participants in as many as 23 cities.
Every year despite freezing January temperatures, bold semi-nudists “flash mob” travel on the city’s metro with ‘no pants’ on around the world including New York, Boston, London, Amsterdam , Toronto, Chicago and Berlin.
Paddy Jane, a captain of the No Pants Society, Toronto said that it’s a really good time. We just want people to have an open mind and break out of pants’ prison.
The videos and images from various subway stations around the world flooded social media.
Passengers are travelling with their suits, backpacks, scarves, jackets among others, but just not their pants.
