its not a new fad.. its a late caught on fad... i think its lost its touch, much like flashmobs.
Its a great concept when new, but extremely boring once mainstream.

A bloke in Gladstone was charged with "Planking a police car!"
Meh, I have been planking my bed my whole life. Now, if you want an awesome challenge, get a photo of yourself planking Megan Fox ftw. Otherwise, every other target is just lamo! lol

triple j have been talking about it for the last month or more. as of yesterday it 'jumped the shark'. apparently Kerrie Anne Kennelly opened her show by planking, so i think it might have lost its 'cool' factor

I would have to be one of the dumbest thing I have seen.
It really shows how 'simple' these people are.

I think we are now starting to see the results of their parents experiments with mind altering substances......

I did some silly things on "mind altering substances" but even at the time, they seemed to have some sort of reasoning behind them. This is just plain pointless!!!

To those that think it is harmless fun and they aren't doing any damage...... lets take the young bloke in Gladstone who did it on the cop car as the example. If it was your car he was lying on would you find it harmess fun.

I now understand how old I really am! I firstly had to Google the subject as i thought it was something to do with lengths of timber and once I discovered what it was all about, I desperately looked for one photo that made me at least smile. I just don't get it and didn't find it the slightest funny. I will say, it is better to see the young doing this rather than Tagging.

The only form of 'Planking' I'd ever heard of was by IRA supporters in Northern Ireland to scare the crap out of British soldiers. (A 6' plank being slapped down hard on a flat surface sounds remarkably like a gunshot)

Plankers? Is that a new rhyming slang?
Hmmm, maybe I can get some sort of government grant to study its artistic, social, and economic implications... |

Well it's a simple concept, the places seem to just get more strange / extreme... like the one I was shown last night of three mates planking the scaffolding on the 80th story of a building they were working on.
