What the Flipping fuck is "Planking" and why people die from it?
 
What the hell Australia/...?

So, here is a internet Craze, you lay flat on your stomach over something dangerous and take a picture... that's Planking.

So, it's like Parkour for lazy fuckers.

At first I thought this was a new drug thing.
 
I'm willing to bet that this wouldn't be half as interesting to those doing it if they couldn't post the pictures online so easily. Even just a few pics of people laying still like here in this thread is kind of funny, but if anyone hanging out with me was like, "Wait, let's go planking" I would probably push them out of my car or just leave.


It also sounds like a made-up pass time from, like, Robot Chicken or some shit.

This is stupid, that is all.

This is seriously a thing?

Best to just ignore it. Let the lemmings drown, injure themselves, or just waste their own time.

Yeah... that was kinda... well.. derp.

Couldn't one fake them with some decient makeup, some wigs, and a store manakin?

Shyria Dracnoir 05-16-2011 11:28 PM

No, the mannequins would have too much common sense to agree to it.

Magus 05-17-2011 08:07 PM

I'm disappointed. I thought this was that sport where people nail their ears to a plank like on that Jackass-rip-off show with the Finnish guys.

Uhm... Guys and girls?

This shit started in Asia...

What are the odds that these guys saw that and decided to copy it?
