Here's some fantastic visual evidence of the San Francisco edition of Improv Everywhere's No Pants 2010 (photos after the jump). This past Sunday, the photographer (and friend of GOOD) Todd Parsons embarked on some Bay Area Rapid Transit to both document and participate in No Pants 2010. Really, what better way is there to get over one's public transportation fears than by picturing the other passengers in their underwear?
