The New Mob in Town

Flashmobs.

You've all seen YouTube clips of the T-Mobile crew with hundreds of participants dancing within the crowded Liverpool Street station in London, the massive Black Eyed Peas crew which featured on Oprah... and many other flashmobs ever since.

Flashmob culture has reached cult status all over the world - but forget your typical dance routines... it seems another form of Flashmob has hit out shores: the No Pants Subway Ride.

Following on from its US predecessor (started by Improv Everywhere, New York in 2002) - it seems the annual January NPSR movement has now reached over 59 cities worldwide, with Sydney celebrating its 5th anniversary last weekend.

Over 1,400 eager participants around Sydney braved their train ride sans pants (or skirts and dresses) with their undies on full show  - much to the amusement of other commuters and our 31ST staff  :-)
