UrbanpranksterscreenshotImprov Everywhere, the New York comedy troupe that grabbed headlines for a massive "freeze-in" at Grand Central Station earlier this year, has a new mission: to document worldwide attacks of fun on a new blog, Urban Prankster.

The site documents incidents of worldwide pranking, public art scenes and flash mobs.

The manifesto posted on Improv Everywhere's parent site reads: "Over the last six months we've seen a massive spread of urban creativity in cities across the world.... With missions happening in other cities on an almost weekly basis, we decided it was time to create a new site to celebrate this work."

So far, the blog has posted YouTube footage and photographs capturing instances of hacked subway ads, flash-mob-style water balloon fights and impromptu dinner parties held in Ikea stores.
