UPDATE (0105PST 10 January 2012): Not even for charity:
Roughly 300 underwear-clad Angelenos crowded trains Sunday for the fourth annual “No Pants Metro Ride 2012.” The idea was concocted by New York City prankster collective Improv Everywhere 11 years ago and caught on globally.
Thousands from cities around the world including Istanbul, Mexico City and London, took part in the daring but lighthearted underwear flash mob that briefly took over public transportation. An estimated 4,000 New Yorkers stripped down to their skivvies, despite “mild” East Coast winter temperatures of 44°F.
In L.A., swarms of bare-legged riders boarded Metro lines from North Hollywood, Pasadena, East Los Angeles and Koreatown and converged at Union Station just before 2 p.m., then departed for Hollywood and Highland. The riders were loosely instructed to act like they had mistakenly overlooked putting half their clothes on.
At least they weren't pooping, M.B.

Undie Run?
ReplyDeleteAlthough that doesn't look much like the one I literally rode into by accident. That was fun.

ReplyDeleteSweet Blood of Jesus! You live in Tempe? Or have merely, like us, visited?
they weren't pooping
But they were pasty.
At least you weren't in Portland for the Naked Bike Ride (right outside your fucking apartment window). It doesn't get more lame than a naked dude with a mustache riding a tall unicycle.

ReplyDeleteSounds ++awful. This wasn't really much worse than biking shorts. Naked? Eeeew.
