Some of you know that an Australian man died a couple of months ago while planking:

So, yeah, I believe that planking is DUMB DUMB DUMB. It is dumb even when not done in a dangerous manner.
In addition, some people believe that planking has roots in slavery and that some of the earlier plankers were imitating photos of slaves.
I think planking is dumb regardless but I now see how planking can seem similar to images of slavery. It's still the same level of dumb...but now some people consider it offensive.
Read below and see what you think. If this isn't your kind of topic, peace out.
