Pantless pranksters in US and around the world take to subways

Passengers in Atlanta, Seattle, Belgium, England, Spain and more participate in the prank on Sunday, Jan. 12, 2014.

That being said, a group of Seattleites braved the cold and hopped aboard the Light Rail to sport their favorite undies, make a statement and have some fun!
