In how much of the world is No Pants Day celebrated? We Brits have never heard of such a thing, aside from the different meaning it would have over here. -- Smjg 16:12, 10 May 2005 (UTC)

Comment copied from VfD page:

No Pants Day is notable both in the United States and abroad (I heard it mentioned here in Perth, Australia the other day). Cedars 09:59, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

Maybe so. But it certainly isn't notable in all of the world, though I can imagine a few odd communities celebrating in a number of places. In any case, not everywhere has a climate in which many people would contemplate it. And as for the linguistic issue, in how many countries in which "pants" means underwear is it celebrated to any real extent, and do they do this by going without underwear or call it "No Trousers Day" instead? Google gives a few hits for "No Trousers Day", which mostly seem to be on-the-spot translations of the American-originated festival into British English rather than evidence of any pre-heard-of celebrations in such places. -- Smjg 11:04, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

Regardless it is an actual event that takes place in certain parts of the world. I myself have celebrated it.

I'm sure those from other countries would understand that it does mean no pants of trousers if you will rather then no underwear. 'No Pants Day' is supposed to be a bit of fun. The idea is to not take the world so seriously.

2007

I notice that all of this is hopelessly out of date for the official 2007 event. But since their own site is out of date, saying that it's May 5th 2006, I guess there's not much to complain about here. Anyone know who dropped the ball on this?theanphibian 05:12, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Never mind, they've fixed it now theanphibian 19:54, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Reference for the arrests made

I could give the reference it is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7snbtwG5wc&feature=SeriesPlayList&p=04BB57CAC423416E. And being the witness to it I think this much should suffice--Gustav Ulsh Iler (talk) 11:43, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Some geek fellas with no pants to illustrate this article? Come on, we all want femmes. --187.152.50.108 (talk) 18:33, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

History - Unconfirmed reports?

Seriously? A citation linking to a site saying that there exist unconfirmed reports is somehow a valid citation?
How is that a valid historical fact? It's like linking the page of every President of USA to a page that claims he is a reptilian. 89.146.168.214 (talk) 22:53, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

Garbage

Can you please stop letting kids create wikipedia pages about things they think are cool for God's sake? This article has the citational integrity of a rumor heard at the barber shop. The first sentence makes no grammatical sense in the English language. There is no mention that the overwhelming majority of participants are in their 20s. Why would this be omitted? Is there some implication that people participate in this childishness that AREN'T of that age? Is it implying that this is a widespread phenom that includes many people of all age groups? Of course not. To understand this thing, it is crucial to know that it is a bunch of college-age kids. That immediately explains the whole thing, and wikipedia is supposed to be hear to illuminate the truth, not mask it. If there is going to be an article about this nonsense at all, let it be accurate: this is a bunch of college-age kids doing a prank. Period. It's not exceptional. it's not extraordinary. it's not poignant social commentary. It's a bunch of kids with no responsibility in life and nothing to do, horsing around. Finally there is no section about criticism. Again, a false implication here that this is universally loved. It never occurs to these ugly kids that nobody wants to se their cellulite butt cheeks in underwear on a cold winter morning subway ride. That that is literally the grossest thing many people can possibly imagine. That it's offensive, that it molests people, that it makes people uncomfortable. There needs to be a section acknowledging this. AThis article read like it was written by a kid in their 20s who participates in this saying" this is a cool thing we do." When it should read like "this is a novelty thing that a small group of white kids do and it is at LEAST hated as much by most people as it is enjoyed by the few kids who do it and think it ironically cool and funny." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Admiral Bimbo (talk • contribs) 22:43, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
