Planking....?

witzky

Living over in Oz and "Planking" is all over the news, every day! One lad fell off a balcony and another died while doing it on top of a moving car... Crazy sh!t!!
I'm only 25 but I don't get it all! Young folk these days are mad..

Is it big at home in Ireland or what??

Can someone here exain the whole planking buzz....??

KeithM89_old

Not too popular but iv seen a few people do it. My next door neighbour, pretty old dude, is deadly at it. Has been face down in his garden for 4 days now...

The King of Moo

Everyone seems to be doing it!

But almost always at night and on their beds for some reason...

TheDukeOfEarl

It is relatively funny. Not funny when somebody dies though. Massive waste of life.

We have more enjoyable things to pass the time,like the annual Ploughing championships.

In any case, I don't understand the Australian obsession of it myself, they should keep to the sea and surfing.

Thats a horrible story.

The news report seems like something from Brass Eye.

DonalN

Saw a bunch of teens planking around Clane the other night. If I hadn't read about what it was the other day, I would have been wondering 'why is she taking a photo of him lying across the gap between two pillars!'

Lying facedown in weird places and getting someone to take a picture.

I did it once in a nightclub and got thrown out. Or maybe i was just drunk...

"Pleb ****"

A new craze among spoiled rich Australian teens where they ejaculate in the face of a poor person on the street and run away.

Oh, that's pretty retarded.

I've seen pictures of it, but didn't know it had a stupid name for it :pac:

Saila

you can see where it started though. Someone passes out face down [as ye do] someone else takes a photo on their phone, craze spreads, now with 'fakes' and then the next step is doing it in funny places, but risking your life on the 7th floor for it? for fuck sake like :eek:

We were calling it "Extreme Facedown" a year ago.

I'm surprised the Australians didn't call 'em chizzwozzas...

Lirange

The Geordies started it not the Aussies.

This internet craze is to blame for the deaths of our chilren. Ban the internet, ban crazes, ban children!

That clip wouldn't be out of place in an episode of Brass Eye.

GavRedKing

Planking = Facedown.

Both = retarded.

Answer, dont do it or you'll be a plankdown retard.

jimbobaloobob

I think this thread compliments the Irish attitude to stupidity. Ive been rolling about reading the replies. Thanks for the laughs!

In response to planking Its nicer to neuter

ha ha ha, just googled it there, looks fair funny

mike65

Whatever you think up as being stupid, real life always tops it.

As mentioned Chris Morris would be proud, though it looks more like a The Day Today parody than Brass Eye.

Its' the sort of thing most people would find mildly amusing for about five minutes, then get bored. I haven't seen any one doing it around here, tbh. Maybe thats' just dour old Belfast, though

Planking ****
Plankers ****

It's supposed to be the funniest & most unusual places - not the highest & most dangerous, FFS!

I dont get it,so you lie face down somewhere you normally wouldn't,then what?where does all the fun and excitement come into it.Looks retarded to me.

When you fall off your balcony

Well seeing as it has made the news I guess I have to cross it off the cool list.

exactly! I remember when it was a craze here last year, my favourite one that I saw was a guy face down in the deli fridge of a supermarket (among the meats and cheeses).

I did think it was funny. It's something about the pose. But I never thought it was anything to do with how dangerous the spot was, just how ridiculous.

prinz

As with anything the longer it goes on the more dangerous it's going to get, lying on cop cars, lying in jet engines etc. Utter twats.

good logs...

could we not start a new thing called PLONKING where you go around and have a big plonk ...........:D:D:D in places where you are not supposed to.........;);)

It is indeed. Lovely day it was too.

You've summed it up nicely there! It just seems like fun at the time. There's an irony in making a big deal out of something so pointless that really appeals to bored students!

Geansai Rua

Did it in the nightclub in Maynooth with a few of my mates..
Basically took up the dance floor just lying face down! people dancing around us and stuffs..

Funny at the time because we were fairly full of booze.

Swiftly thrown out though!

Oh well...

Its been around for years, but it was called the bullet around here anyway. Planking sounds dirty

TeddyTedson

Everyone does it. Anyone who says they don't is lying.

Eric Cartman

really stupid thing to do, all ill say is the only people i fell sorry for are his family
