Planking!

This stupid "activity" has been labelled as an urban sport. It's not a sport. It's not even an activity. The only -ity I would attach to this is stupidity. Yet it's a meme that's capturing the attention of people across the globe. Planking is a testament of the power of internet to convert the most inane thing into a global phenomenon.

Here are a few examples, and there is no lack of them if you google it up.

These guys got fired. I wonder why, they were wearing safety helments

This guy almost would have made it to Fail Blog

One news channel did it

So did others

Threesome!

I'm not sure this is planking. Maybe they were just sleeping.

Planking is a stupid idea. Fortunately, for those who don't enjoy seeing people "plank", there is an entirely different and more enjoyable meme of plank fails. In fact, I'd say most people are hoping to see plank fails and are subconsciously driving the popularity of planking up. Guess every cloud has a silver lining.
