   Nobody on that train wanted the train to be stopped, and unloaded. Everyone wanted to keep on rolling. It was the NYPD, and the MTA who decided that people wearing boxers was a good reason to make everyone 30 minutes late. In a post 9-11 world we should be able to recognize what is a security threat and what isn’t.

   Since when is it illegal to wear boxer shorts on the subways? These riders did absolutely NOTHING to halt the train, the NYPD did that. These summons are going to be dismissed easily. Also, the IE crew is very aware that this isn’t the most insane, outrageous stunt. They’ve never tried to hurt or disrupt someone, it’s just some good fun that almost everyone witnessing enjoys. My goodness…

   I am surprised people are asking what’s wrong with going on the subway in your underwear. Let alone so many people doing it at one time. Why would someone even ask what’s wrong with that? Are you people really that incompetent, ignorant, and uninformed?

   Comments which resort to insults and name-calling, on either side of the debate, will not last long on this page. The best way to deal with a “troll” is to ignore him.

   “Civil disobedience becomes a sacred duty when the state has become lawless or, which is the same thing, corrupt. Civil disobedience is the assertion of a right which law should give but which it denies. Civil disobedience is the inherent right of a citizen and can only lead to strength and purity.” Thank you for your illuminating contribution!

   having read about your campaign, i think it is a great indication of the state of the United States.

   US Govt cant find WMD’s in Iraq, yet the country is so fearful NYPD are arresting you no pants guys.

   Feel free to imigrate to Australia where you will really be appreciated.

   Cheers

   Despite all the rediculousness with the nypd today, and the disappointment of not getting all the way uptown, I thoroughly enjoyed No Pants 2k6. So much, in fact, that I walked home without my pants.

   “hey, ho, these pants have got to go!..”

    IEers,

    To add to my prior post, all is well with the ticketed folks, except this: I am still pant-less.

    I believe can find the strength to take on this Disorderly Conduct charge, but not without my pants at my side! They are APC, sized 34. They are for a very tall person. You who possess them have doubtless laughed at the proportions of their owner! You have said, “I didn’t think hulking ogres needed designer jeans.” Well, INDEED WE DO.

    And then I have someone’s black Rustler jeans, sized 34×30.

    I’m at robkelley(aaaaaat)gmail.com

    Also, the girl with flowers on her Vans can email me whether she has my jeans or not.

    I am sick to death of political correctness. I am sick of people who think their feelings got hurt. America needs a good laugh. Bring me more.

    I’d never heard of you guys before, but after this story I checked out your website. Thanks for the unexpected shot of joy, as well as the reminder that life CAN and SHOULD be FUN. Your mission statement is the best idea I’ve heard in years. Keep up the good work; things like this make life worth living…!

    Humourous? well, not really. Is that the best thing you guys could come up with? It’s no wonder I only just heard about you guys. You suck. Sorry, just being honest…

    Thanks to the NY police action your stunt made world news. I can’t even figure how or why this has been labeled disorderly conduct. Do Americans realize that their free country sometimes seems to have restrictions and very conservative strict rules, part of which are comparable to countries they would rather not be compared to? Think about it.

    What about that “Naked Cowboy” guy in Times Square, who just has his undies, hat, boots and a guitar. How many times has he been arrested in NY? Anyone know? Quick google says 49 times, but apparently he tours. At least IE Agents were clothed from the waist up.

    This makes me even more upset that I goofed the times and wasn’t able to make it. The boy shorts boxers I’m wearing right now (still) are longer than some of the skimpy short skirts/shorts that I’ve seen other girls my age on the trains. I don’t see the NYPD arresting them.

    Sorry I missed this and a double sorry for those who were arrested. Wish I could’ve been there with you guys.

    I have always heard of “showing your ass”, but you all have done it literally. Shame on you for making a fool of yourselves.
