usagi Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 "Planking is the action of lying face down with arms to the sides of the body in unusual places and photographing it" A few months ago someone posted pics of this in a thread here on WATMM and I couldn't bring myself to believe it was a real fad, until reports appeared in Australian media a few days ago that some dude killed himself trying to plank on his balcony railing. The subsequent flurry of media attention has resulted the planking, er, "community" being invaded by trolls. I can't say I'm sorry, I've been lolling at this shit all day. (Psychologist fears police crackdown will lead to more planking deaths, fucking lol) I don't know about anyone else but this feels like some straight-up Chris Morris/Jam material to me, it has that exact same absurd quasi-factual feel to it (just needs some SAW backing music) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manmower Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 This is just playing dead or more specifically the lying down game. Basic meme snobbery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
