Yesterday, International Pillow Fight Day held their New York fight in Union Square, and from the looks of it there were a lot of feathers to clean up. Hundreds of people showed up sporting pajamas, costumes and pillows (or makeshift pillows) for some lighthearted fun, all protected by a police blockade and a group of gawking passersby.

Reader Mark also sent us what has to be the most artistic video about a pillow fight we've ever seen. Slow-mo! Overexposed sunlight! Haunting soundtrack!
