People from 27 countries, including the Czech Republic, took part on Sunday in the 11th annual “No Pants Subway Ride” — a kind of flash mob-style happening that was the brainchild of the New York group Improv Everywhere, which takes pride in “causing scenes of chaos and joy in public spaces.”
According to local press reports (see the iDNES.cz photo gallery here), about two dozen young people traveled through the Prague metro from the stations of Muzeum and Florenc on Sunday wearing no pants (in the case of the four young women who took part, they donned ultra- miniskirts).
The pranksters had met at the Wenceslas Square and took to the underground with a banner reading “no pants, no problem.” Some of the young men made a point of wearing comical boxer shorts.
In New York, an estimated 4,000 people of all ages took part in the prank, according to Improv Everywhere, which said the event — organized through Facebook and other social media — was staged in 59 cities in 27 countries.
