Planking! (trending)
Planking.. what is planking?
Planking involves holding a position in dangerous or public places to draw attention to yourself. It consists of lying down face first in an attempt to stay in that position longer than your friends.
The first recorded occurrence of planking was in 1994 when Tom Green performed a stunt he called "Dead Guy" for a cable TV show, which consisted of Green lying down on an Ottawa side walk without moving.
The popularity of planking has generated a backlash. Some people object to its ridiculous aspects; such as a girl planking with her head in a toilet, or a man planking on a stripper pole. Also, planking in dangerous places has resulted in many injuries and at least one death.
People who plan then take photos of themselves doing so and post it on social media.
Planking is a fad that became huge in the world 3 years ago and caused many horrible things and consequences. Lucking the fad is over.
