Is it just me - I don't understand planking
What has this world come to in terms of self expression?

To be cool and express your artistic flair, you lie face down on a random object? Where is your individuality?

It all feels very "Orwellian/1984" to me.

You don't understand it because you are old.

Now get off of my lawn.

I'm young and I don't understand it either. But then, I don't understand most video games, smart phones, or facebook either.

I posted these today in the Random Picture thread, and never heard of it before today. Found by accident and found it weird.

I heard of planking on Discovery News months ago since a few Australians died in planking stunts gone wrong, but I never heard of owling until now.
