The 10th Annual No Pants Subway Ride went off without a hitch today in New York. Riders met at meeting points spread out all over the city and converged on Union Square. The high was 32 degrees and wind gusts were up to 47 MPH.
Best responses from pants-wearing people:
On the subway as people are depantsing at different stops: “I know what this is! This is it! This is the day!” As we were all getting off the 7 train to transfer at Grand Central: “Is there some sort of parade today?” As I watched the horde of pants-less people in Union Square Wallgreens from out on the street a woman asked me: “What is this all about?” Me (still pants-less): “I don’t know.” Woman: “They’re all a bunch of weirdos.” (She seemed not to notice that I was one of them.) Another woman on the street: “Is there some kind of protest?” Me: “No.” Woman: “Oh. I thought maybe you were all protesting pants.”

Anyone who particpates in the juvenile, adolescent phenomenon called: ‘the no pants subway ride’, is either a hipster or an “honorary” hipster .
What a bunch of decadent, pomo, MTV era, trendy confomist spoiled brats those exhibitionists are ! Showing off their butts, like a bunch of junior high adolescent twits .
Freaking hipsters are crass, bourgeous spoiled brats . Scions of decadent , t.v. influenced affluence .
Contrary to popular opinion , there are NOT two or more valid sides to every issue.
Contrary to popular opinion, so-called “shades of gray” are NO subsitute for accuracy and Truth !
The goofy pro-hipster opinions deserve NO respect whatsoever , not even partial respect. To respect mere opinions —especially crass opinions , is sellout thinking .
It is long past high time to rain a deluge down on the trendy parade of the evil postmodernist MTV Generation , and wash it off the proverbial road .
