The new craze.... Planking...

Postby A Mum » Sun May 15, 2011 10:16 pm

Planking....

http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?op=1& ... 60?sk=wall

Funny or stupid?
Have you 'participated' in this new 'craze'?

Only yesterday the police were saying they don't like it because people were putting themselves at risk/in dangerous situations - then less than 24 hours later we hear that someone has died doing it.

I'm in 2 minds - just went through the facebook page, and while some are funny - there are some extremely stupid ones.
Not sure I like the fact people are getting their kids/infants involved.
While it might seem harmless - everyone will obviously try and out do someone else - maybe leave your kids out of it?

It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt as they say.

Thoughts?

It's interesting because it's a great example of internet memetics.

Is the death the result of memetics or just bad genetics? I say the latter, one for the Darwin Awards perhaps.

This is a facebook craze, right?

Then it's inherently stupid.

Maybe I can start a new craze! :lol:

Just for the record....
Before you go all 'anti' facebook...lol.

It wasn't started by facebook or facebook users as such.

It's been 'done' for ages by people travelling the word taking photos like this,
It's just that it's recently 'caught' on - and someone started a facebook page to display the pictures.
