WTF is this internet phenomenon called Planking all about ? - GoFuckYourself.com

halfpint · 05-16-2011, 01:50 PM

Just been reading about this on the news and never heard of it before, supossed to be one of the latest internet phenomenon damm people just get weirder and weirder by the year

The phenomenon of planking involves lying face down in a public place - the stranger the better - and posting photos on social networking sites such as Facebook. Aficionados lie expressionless with a straight body, hands by their sides and toes pointing into the ground.

It's an ausie thing mostly. You try to make your body stiff as a board and balance on one or two points, the more difficult the position the more public the place the more points / cred the poser gets.

I really don't find it that interesting but for the most part it's pretty harmless. I think as with anything there are always going to be a few people short on brain cells that are going to take it too far, doing it on top of buildings, signs and in the roads... but in a way it's kind of like natural selection.

I planked their fucking girlfriends while they were out planking stupid shit. heh

V_RocKs · 05-16-2011, 04:48 PM

It really sucks when they make laws that would take people out.

For instance... The bike helmet law... Really? I have ridden bicycles since I was like 3 years old and never once received a head wound. I have seen others receive them and they were usually doing some pretty stupid shit!

Now lets look at motorcycles... I know a guy that is a lowlife. He is always looking to make a quick buck and steals shit, hustles shit and is just a complete shit head. He got into an accident that was totally avoidable, but then he is a shithead!

So they say the helmet saved him and I know he wouldn't have been wearing one if it weren't a law. He talks about it all the time! How gay it is to have to wear one even after it saved his life...

Now he has 3 kids with two different women. He never holds down a job and rides a motorcycle because it is the cheapest way to get from point A to point M(arijuana). Both moms are on food stamps and state healthcare with a check for rent and shit.

So why do we need to keep this guy alive?

Had he perished when he was supposed to we would have paid $50K trying to keep him alive only to fail. Then we wouldn't be paying his child support three times over. He wouldn't be stealing more people shit. He wouldn't be contributing to crap. He wouldn't be teaching his kids to be shitheads when they grow up...

I hate bleeding hearts...

Not to be confused with plonking, the internet equivalent of sticking your fingers in your ears, shutting your eyes, and going "BLAH BLAH BLAH" so that the other person knows you can't hear what they're trying to say.
