Planking

[buttons]

"Planking is the act of lying face down with arms to the sides of the body, in unusual public spaces and photographing it."

does anyone play this or what's your thoughts on it? my cousin has a full album dedicated to it and apparently a german reporter asked him for permission to put one on his show. i'll give you an example of one of his:

that's planking on a small ledge above the stairs. obviously it can be very dangerous, there was a guy who fell to his death trying to plank on railings of an appartment which is just ridiculous but it can be hilarious too. i'm just looking through pictures from the facebook page:

some of them are awesome though i've seen better

yeahhhh it's really popular in australia atm (the guy who died is from there). even been planking on australian news:

lmfao I can't believe people actually do this. Deffo need some more funny planking screenies XD + rep

just found the official fb group :P http://www.facebook.com/pages/Planking-Australia/147452668649160

[Aidenn]

Was talking about this at college on thursdays,

I found it highly amusing how the dude died, i generally had no sympathy either, common sense always prevails.

some funny ones tho i must admit :P

[GommeInc]

One of my friends does this all the time, I've been out with her when she's decided to lay down randomly in places. I think the best one I've seen is of her and another friend lying down on escalators, and someone took the picture just as the met halfway (one was going down while the other was going up). Facebook doesn't seem to want me to share it though, and I ahte print screen pictures and having to upload them :(

I think he knew of the dangers... The point of the game is to go against common sense and social norms afterall :P It was just an unfortunate death - the picture if he didn't slide off would of been great :P

[Mark]

Been in Scotland for a few weeks now, gets on my nerves! Although I think it originated from Australia :P

[Red]

lmao at some of those photos. the guy on the top of the door!
ain't heard of this before. quite bizzare

[tdi]

this was around when I was in school, it was called 'The Lying Down Game' - I just never knew it would still have caught on. haha

[dirrty]

idk, must be the only one who thinks that's just stupid and pointless

[Chris]

What on earth possesses people do do that? How odd. :P

[buttons]

[Jahova]

No, there is no point to it at all and it's not "cool" either. Also, people have seemed to have caught on late, I knew of this over a year ago.

[myke]

idk, must be the only one who thinks that's just stupid and pointless

[Misawa]

Anyone who does that and subsequently falls to their death has no sympathy from me.

The future looks bright.

[Describe]

me and a friend have done at least twenty, it's dying out now around here but last week it was massive.

[JerseySafety]

Dont get the point of it tbh. i do it with mates but its useless.

woo lets climb on top of mcdonalds and plank, or lets lie in the middle of the road & plank.

[Nemo]

I find some of the positions in pretty crazy, but god damn its pretty dumb. Looks like a good laugh though. Oh also this;

[wixard]

By we, you mean only you, right?

loling cos i've never heard anybody here call it the bullet
we call it the lying down game
it was big here during summer of 2010 cos one of irelands most popular radio shows promoted it and made people send in pictures

[Waaaak]

Its funny, I never knew anything about planking until that dude died from it. Me, I dont care much for it, however, I do find it funny haha.

[Jahova]

Oh my damn u so cool. Them noobs who caught on late are so stupid cos you've known about this over a year ago OMGGGFGGGFGIOOIKOF

You're mature. Also, I never said anything about anyone being stupid - nice one.

[Metric1]

[Accipiter]

Could you relay a message to them all saying, I'm not impressed, the majority of them are not doing it correctly.

yeah was so annoying haha

[MizzBex]

lol, this is so funny :D i never realised people did stuff like this!

[Charlottay!]

Alot of people did it in stoke on trent outside the shopping centre. lots of old people got confused.

[Judas]

OMG THIS IS SO STUPID, POINTLESS AND IMMATURE. READ A BOOK FOR GOD'S SAKE.

god, lighten up people stop being so boring

[lRhyss]

Lmao we played this at school,

we had people up trees and ****, so funny.

Even our teachers got involved! LOL

I'll see if I can find the pics.

[IceNineKills]

i remember like 4 years ago when i was working at burger king someone told me about this but it wasn't called 'planking' then, it was the original name, the lying down game.

[GirlNextDoor15]

Saw the planking thing on the newspaper today and did anyone actly tried this before? If I did, I think people will think I'm crazy.

[Casanova]

I think it's ridiculous and pointless, I've removed two people from FB for continuously going on about it!

[Mathew]

omg LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I have actually never seen this! :P some of those on the Facebook page are hilarious; some guy putting his head in one over-head bin on an aircraft and his feet in the opposite hahahahaha. So good.

[Jurv]

I've seen many people around my school doing this and I think it's hilarious. I've got a strange sense of humour. :P

[Lee]

I seen the news report on the guy who died, I love the idea of it though :P
