「ノーパンツデー」世界中で不思議な人々が目撃される（画像）

寒くないの？
Dominique Mosbergen

今月10日、ニューヨークシティから東京、マドリッド、そしてモスクワなど世界中から数万の人々が、あるミッションのために勇敢に鉄道駅に降り立った。そのミッションとは、「パンツ（ズボン）をはかずに公共交通機関に乗車すること」だ。

この「パンツをはかずに地下鉄に乗ろうよ運動（No Pants Subway Ride）」は、名前のとおり、他の乗客が冬服を着飾っているなか、下着姿で列車に乗車するというもの。

ニューヨークを拠点とするいたずら集団「インプルーブ・エブリウェア」が始めたもので、今回で15回目となった。

「参加者はコート、帽子、スカーフ、手袋など、全てを身に着けているかのように振る舞うのです」と、同集団は公式サイトで説明する。

「1つだけいつもと違うことと言えば、パンツをはいていないことですね」。

このグループによると、今年のイベントには25カ国を超える60都市以上から参加者が集まったそうだ。

以下は、今月10日のいたずら心たっぷりの写真たちである：
