WTF?

It's a pretty stupid activity, but overall fairly benign in the grand scheme of things.

Just when you think you have seen everything....

Jesus.



20 points to the person who can tell me which of the planks from the video was taken in Thailand!

Here's a good one.

Perhaps TD's members can start a thread with their very own pics of "planking"

nana girls have been doing it for years

'Planking' for fucks sake, as crazes go this rates right up there with standing still.

I think 'Spanking' would be a great craze to start...
You heard it first on TD...

This is a fucked up hobby.

Think I'm gonna start a new group on Facebook and call it toilet planks. Then invite all the dickheads from the other planking groups and see how many of them I can make stick their head down the toilet.

Just tried it. Great idea.
Word of advice though, be wary of those little smelly cube things in the urinals - they make your hair stink.

You idiot! They're mints, you're supposed to suck them not put them in your hair!

Teens warned to do planking carefully



BANGKOK, 17 June 2011 (NNT) – The Ministry of Culture has warned teenagers to exercise caution when they perform planking for fear of dangers and accidents.

Cultural Surveillance Centre Director Ladda Tangsupachai admitted that planking is getting popular very fast in Thailand; however, she expressed concerns that plankers might be unaware of the danger while they lie motionless on their stomach in vatious locations.

Ms Ladda hence cautioned that teenagers should not perform planking in unsafe places such as escalators, traffic zones and high places.

The director noted that at present a number of celebrities are interested in planking. She then warned their fan clubs not to be engaged too much in the craze and to exercise caution when planking since she did not want any tragedy to take place similar to the one in Australia.

Planking, also known as face downs, was originated in Australia in 1997 and has become popular since then. Plankers usually lie face down, similar to dead people, in unusual location and have their photos taken and uploaded in the internet, usually in social network such as facebook.

The most notorious case was reported in Australia where a 20-year-old student died as he fell from his room on the seventh floor while planking on the balcony.

^ So monks and teens have been warned. Is there a link? Who is next to be warned?

Talking to yourself? That's the first symptom of planking!

I think you're shitting me.
The one i'm sucking now tastes very unminty, and the textures all wrong.
But hey ho, live and learn.


P.S Do all plankers suck these mints?

This planking is getting ridiculous. The old dear next door has been face down on her front porch for the past three days!

^I've heard about those ones. 'Extreme Tantric Plankers' is what they are calling themselves.
