The article discusses the performance art group Improv Everywhere. The group, organized by actor Charlie Todd, creates interactive performance art in locations around New York City as a way of entertaining and amusing the public. The author discusses video recordings of the group's activities, such as members of the group riding a subway train without wearing pants, and suggests performances in retail stores such as Best Buy and Abercrombie and Fitch criticize social aspects of retail outlets.
