Planking, Again?

Okay...

So, according to the online media, the planking fad is really stupid. I might agree with you there, it IS stupid... but that's like all things: today's music, your face, and the reasons as to why I am typing this up -but why? Why do you silly humans bag one piece of nonsense instead of bitching about the whole lot? Why do you guys have to be so hypocritical about this "stupidity" crap?

C'mon guys, I think it's about time you got your own opinions instead of copying ideas from planking haters such as RWJ and Mr Teddy. Seriously, time to become more mature.

To gain a better look at the world of planking, we'll look at the pros and cons of planking together.

In case you people ask, I'm writing another entry on planking because apparently the views on my last one are exceedingly climbing high in the sky.

(Yes, I did just say that...)

Anywho, I just don't really see the problem in this fad. So it's stupid... YOU'RE STUPID! Is that the only reason you have in your minuscule brain? Sure, some people are idiotic enough to GET KILLED doing this. But hey, don't blame a fad, blame the dimpoop who did it!

Sure, it's a waste of time... but so is Facebook and many other social networking sites. And believe it or not, people actually enjoy it! I for one, think that if you enjoy doing this, then go ahead. DO IT!

It's about a freedom to do what you want. We live in the 21st century! Most people now have the sense to execute their right to their own lifestyle without disrupting the ways of others. A message to ALL plankers: if you want to do this, then fine. Just don't do it on the paths and walkways that will cause inconvenience to other people. AND a message to planking haters: don't judge a whole group of people due to a small minority's senseless arrogance. It's not like every planker is out to ruin your life.

(It's more likely that they would ruin their own)

So here are what I think are the pros and cons of planking...

Pros:

• It's fun
• Creates a great photo opportunity
• It's intriguing to watch -I mean, if you have don't have anything else to do, go watch someone plank. Also, when you see someone you consider really serious and uptight doing it, you'd laugh too.
• It's a fad that doesn't need any sort of bought equipment, it's entirely FREE
• Planking has inspired other fads such as owling and coneing.... admit it, that's pretty amazing
• Planking has a whole load of diversity and variety -Sure, you just lie there on the ground, but you can choose where you can lie down! There are heaps of opportunities and locations to choose from!

Cons:

• Okay, okay... so it's basically pointless
• There are those people who plank in the middle of a walkway...
• There are also those people who actually die from it, but like I said, it's their choice
• It wastes space on your camera's memory
• It actually won't take you anywhere in life -I mean, you're just laying down on the ground....
• Planking can cause the random "WTF" moment, and people can actually hate you for doing something so pointless

So yeah, I hope I've actually helped you with that matter, and if you have your own opinions about this fad just comment below. Now, with this information, I hope that it has opened your minds a bit and gave you YOUR OWN set of informed decisions.

Ta ta now~
