Default In slipway in the subway of New York

More than 160 people took part on January 22 in the fifth walk without trousers on the line n°6 of the subway of New York. Imagined by a group of theatre of street consisted Internet and called "Improv Everywhere", the Web site had given go to its sympathizers, men or women, at one hour precise on this subway line.Watchword: to withdraw its trousers, and to make as if nothing were not! In slipway, shorty or breeches, the participants took up the challenge successfully. But this happening was not of the taste of the police force come to challenge some participants in the behaviours considered to be too not very protocolar

I guess there will always be people that like to protest, even if the cause is kind of dumb, 'ass' in this case.
Btw, some of those bottoms should be covered up for the public's sake.

Hilarious and surely gave a kick to most of those on the train (although this cop and a conductor didn't seem to think so) :


It seems one cop happened to be on the platform, and he happened to
notice a large number of pantless riders. Despite there being nothing illegal
about appearing in public in underwear, he thought it was a good idea to
stop the train. The conductor came over the P.A. and announced,
"This train is not in service. Everyone please exit the train and wait for
the next one. Due to a police investigation this train is out of service."
