Planking....?

witzky · 20-05-2011 01:58AM #1

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 · 20-05-2011 01:59AM

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 · 20-05-2011 02:01AM

Everyone seems to be doing it!

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

TheDukeOfEarl · 20-05-2011 02:02AM

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 · 20-05-2011 02:11AM

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 · 20-05-2011 02:19AM

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 · 20-05-2011 02:30AM

The Geordies started it not the Aussies.

WindSock · 20-05-2011 09:28AM

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

Guy in work read it in the newspaper and decided he'd have a go. Planked on the forks of the forklift at near enough full reach. ****in dangerous.

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

GavRedKing · 20-05-2011 09:51AM

Planking = Facedown.

Both = retarded.

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

jimbobaloobob · 20-05-2011 09:51AM

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
