Holy stiff as a board Batman!
Why is planking so dang popular?
Simple.
Because people are stupid.
And they're stupid because instead of trying to better themselves, volunteering for the community, or going out of their way to make life better for someone else, they're trying to find the best place to lie facedown and have someone take their picture.
For those of you who don't know about planking, first consider yourselves lucky. Planking is simply the act of lying facedown somewhere with your arms at your side and asking a friend to take your picture. That's it. And it's become an Internet sensation. Short-lived, no doubt, but still... really?
They could be learning another language, picking up an instrument, or pursuing a hobby they otherwise wouldn't have time for. They could be delivering the mail in a retirement home, walking dogs that haven't been adopted yet, or stocking hospital rooms. They could be baking a casserole for a new mom, a sick friend, or an elderly neighbor.
But instead they're lying on the ground in ridiculous places, like across the bathroom sink, in a parking lot, or on top of a car.
Really now.
Procrastination would be better, actually, because at least then you're putting off actually doing something hopefully productive instead of figuring out the most clever place to do a faceplant.
