A 48-year-old Sydney woman has suffered head injuries while demonstrating how to plank, during a discussion about the dangers of the stunt. The woman fell from a 2m high garden wall after performing the planking demonstration at a friend's house in Kingsford last night. An unnamed friend of the victims's told Nine News the incident happened during a discussion about the planking craze and its dangers. "And it was all started why with you don't plank — and look what happened," she said. The woman was taken to hospital suffering a fractured shoulder, head injuries and loss of consciousness. The popularity of planking — which involves lying flat and face-down on top of an object and being photographed — has rocketed recently, but has also been widely condemned by authorities since a 20-year-old man fell to his death last week while attempting to pull the stunt on a balcony in Brisbane.
Thou shalt art pull thy chute already. I think you need a few deep breaths and accept the fact that you are in a heavy minority here. This is not something that's ACTUALLY cool, like stealing a garden gnome and filming a porno with it then leaving said gnome with a copy of the tape with the owners the next day. This is just boring hipster bullshit sprinkled with Japanese pop-culture psychosis. Eventually an astronaut will do it, nobody will be able to top that, it this will go the way of Mambo #5 and Crystal Pepsi.
I'm sorry to bump this thread with more humiliating shit (this guy is from my home town) but I just can't help myself. Look at the pictures of this guy, then consider the fact that he's an 'office manager'. http://www.news.com.au/travel/news/...ants-to-have-fun/story-e6frfq80-1226061333539 "The 25-year-old bachelor from the Perth suburb of Marangaroo said he has been inundated with messages of support since the photo with the Swan River icon was published, and thinks the stunt will help him with the ladies. “I think this has gained me a fair bit of respect among people in my age group and that, of course, includes the ladies."
I would like to shoot glass bottles off his back with birdshot while he's planking nude on a narrow, wobbly railing over a pit full of punji stakes smeared with human feces.
