Fairly recently, a wide-spread fad had started just a few months ago known as "planking". It is where some one lies down flat on his belly and acts out as a plank, then having the person's friend take a picture of him and post it on his Twitter or Facebook.
I have absolutely no idea why anybody would even think to do this, let alone think it's actually cool to do such a thing. What's the point of it, really? If one of your friends came up to you and said, "Hey Bubba, I'll give you $20 if you plank on top of those pool railings", then that would be the only good modivation I could think of on why anybody would want to plank. If you're just doing it to look cool, then I pity your soul.
There's one big factor here on why I don't think it's the best idea to plank. What if you applied for a job, and after the interview, they do a background check on your media and find several pictures of you "planking" on everything? Now that employers are more picky on who they hire in this economy, it probably wouldn't be such a good idea to post those pictures on your Facebook or Twitter feed.
The moral of this article: If you're only planking just because your friends think it's cool, then don't do it. It looks stupid and it's just not cool at all. It could even effect your future. No, really. It actually could.
