Yesterday, January 12, Toronto had its first No Pants day. The movement started in New York by a group called Improv Everywhere. Improv Everywhere is a group based in NYC that stages large-scale “Scenes”. Other cities dropping their pants in 2K8 include Boston, Washington DC, Portland OR, San Francisco, Chicago, Toronto, Adelaide Australia, Baltimore MD, and Salt Lake City.

And so participating Torontonians descended on the TTC yesterday, and proceeded to casually remove their pants and ride the train. The story appeared on the Toronto Sun today.

The requirements for participation were simple:

1) Willing to take pants off on subway
2) Able to keep a straight face about it
