The little known "International Pillow Fight Day" was a success. "In these times of war, revolution and nuclear disaster it's good to see people dressed in their jams fighting with pillows," said John Baker from Trafalgar Square, London.
People in cities (130) across the globe have taken part in mass pillow fights as part of International Pillow Fight Day, April 2.
Dressed in pajamas, dressing gowns and fancy dress to take part in the good natured annual pillow fight all manner of folk, mostly young spent a part of their Saturday afternoon making feathers fly. Most people carried feather-filled pillows that exploded as they fought. London's Metropolitan Police said Sunday that the event had been peaceful and they had no reports of any trouble. Tempurpedic pillows were not allowed, as the filling is dangerous on impact.
The fights were organized by The Urban Playground Movement which wants to encourage people to make use of public spaces. Organizing a massive pillow fight is perhaps the simplest of free events or interventions, but also, according to the organizers,
The Urban Playground Movement, one of the most rewarding.
