NYPD POLICES BRIEFS! I had a feeling something stupid like this would happen: Cops detained a number of pants-free subway surfers who participated in ImprovEverywhere's No Pants 2k6 Mission.

What surprises me is how cheerfully many of the pants-free people seem to have taken the turn of events. Just look at the comments at ImprovEverywhere's website!

Here's a blog entry from a participant. And another. And another.

Here are more photos.

Here's an early Newsday report.

The initial report in The New York Times gives new meaning to the term "Metro Briefing."

Here are AP photos on Yahoo! And, uh, the AP story, too.

Some of the participants complained about the many press people there. I wonder if any were undercover cops, who have already infiltrated Critical Mass events.
