WTP: What the Plank

Lately "planking" has become a huge movement perhaps all around the world with people leaking pictures of themselves in planking position via social network. I have even 'planked' it out on a few objects and in yoga postition a few times! I mean---I thought it was just harmless fun .  Planking which is usually done as a form of exercise has now been traced back 400 years ago  into slavery times when African Slaves were forced to 'plank' as they were packed on slave ships. NOW, yes that may be true but however the trend or fad was not began to simply harrass or manipulate a harsh, negative piece of history. I believe it is wonderful for people to be aware of their surroundings and their history but to connect a harmless movement  started by some Australian guys to something people are doing out of fun is absurd. Honestly, you guys are just being party poopers. Secretly inside, everyone wanted to 'plank it out' every now and then. But Please be safe!

Here's a couple pictures of some dope planks i ran across
