No pants day 2010

Commuters in London were yesterday treated the bizarre sight of hundreds of fellow Tube travellers wrapped up warm in jackets, scarves, hats and mittens - and nothing on their bare, pale legs.

Women clad in skimpy underwear, and some men in even skimpier underwear (though most wore boxers) crowded the Tube in London - and the underground networks in New York and Mexico City - to the bemusement of their fellow passengers.

Nothing to see here: Participants in Improv Everywhere's ninth annual No Pants on the Subway Day wait casually for a train in New York yesterday

The stunt - entitled 'The 9th Annual No-pants On The Subway Day' - was organised by a group called Improv Everywhere. The group claims its mission to to cause 'scenes of chaos and joy in public places'.

Unfortunately, they failed, as most commuters - despite some lingering looks - appeared to take the no-pants people in stride.

In London, most commuters studiously avoided eye contact with anyone who was not wearing pants - making life on the Tube business as usual.

'It looks chilly,' was the only observation to be made by Dawn Young, a pants-wearing passenger in New York waiting on the platform alongside several no-pants people.
