The Great Pants Debate

Apparently there's a movement to depant America.



official 'No Pants Day' has come, and past.



But the cause is growing.

This group, the New York State Epantsipation League, is informing the world about the woes befallen mankind due to pants.

Their crest:



But this group is not alone in their quest.

I discovered this grassroots movement to rid man- and woman-kind of the burden of trousers, from my blig blog DataWhat? (which also has this link to an interview with Strong Bad on npr).

On that site, I discovered this woman (oddly, named cardigangirl—a lover of sweaters but not pants...hmmm).

Her blog, Irony Is The New White Belt, also claims to be on the forefront of the anti-pant movement (Ironically her blog's name would lead one to believe that belt holding items, such as pants, would be welcomed. But then again, for the sake of irony, she disavowals, her need for legged, beltloops).

It seems depanting is everywhere, and it's causing people to wonder, "why?"

A recent unpanting preformed by this nyc improve group, led people to ask, "what they were protesting", or "who was being punk'd?"

Pants have become such and part of our lives, that the absence of pants is must be more than a personal statement of freedom from the articles of clothing themselve, or at least that's what the passangers of this train intially, thought.



So, to my friends, I ask. To pants or not to pants?

And doesn't it really fucking matter?
