It is official. January is the "NO PANTS MONTH". Or, at least if you rush out with no pants and are riding the 6, N, or R train one day in January, you won't be the only one. In fact, 3,000 people last January "forgot" their pants this year.
Also, the medical community better do some researching because the idea has spread like the flu since 2002 with over 300 people in just NYC to this year with 5,000 pant-less participants in over 44 cities around the world!
Maybe people get an allergic reaction around the world all on one day and can't call in sick, or making a statement that pants are somehow an evil commodity; perhaps it is just a FLASH-MOB with harmless, fun and funny intentions to make other commuters on public transportation smile and laugh, take a few memorable pictures with the mobile phones and have a less stressful day.
In fact, commuters laugh, smile and giggle at the ample people with the wardrobe malfunction, many of them even don't pay any attention to the extra freezing skin and polka-dot boxers in 20 degree weather.
But in the end, a bunch of people have fun, laugh and get together to do something harmless and eye-popping and memorable. The trend is growing as one of the D.I.Y. movements that has no experience required, just some undies, a good attitude and the ability to laugh at yourself (and the guy with the funny boxers).
This is actually one of the funniest things I've ever heard to actually happen. It's quite an impacting movement, and fun at the same time. I don't know what I would do exactly if I was put in the situation of the people riding the same subway, but it's funny to watch their reactions.
ReplyDeleteI think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry, and that's extra scary to me. There's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside. Run, he's fuzzy, get out of here
