Seems like pure speculation form someone who knows nothing about the fad. As you said there is no widely accepted definition, I barely heard of it now and started googling.

yeah except people all over twitter as soon as Howard started doing it, started tweeting him to stop and telling him why so just because you haven't heard of it, doesn't mean plenty of people havent...Either you're not into doing a ton of research or whatever...you think this would be something casually just talked about in AMERICA? Also..I guess if its not on google, it didnt happen..A person could pick up a book every now and then..But hey, this is ish...how could I be so stupid to post some knowledge on this board...lol @ me...Carry on...I'm out..I tried...Peace..

Whatever, call me when someone planks naked.

DOES THIS BUSINESS HAVE NO SHAME? Does he not REALISE the CONNOTATIONS associated with the term "PLANKING?"

What has the world come to if they don't realise that words are powerful man!!

Planking on the toilet while pissing in it ? I imagine the concentration amongst different muscle groups (including the all-important PC muscle) would be chanllenging the first few attempts

Yes I am sure it is easy to find books on this fad...

All you have is speculation so no point in criticizing him.

[M.V.W.]

He should post photos of himself 'planking' in the first round.

He should post one of him planking on the Lakers court.

I don't understand either...American are getting dumb and dumber for real.

[Gundress]

Whatever, call me when someone planks naked.

Except we did not start this crap. This was the first time many of us even heard of this, try reading through the thread first before posting.

Yes, at least it's goin outside the box. Everyone "planks" wif clothes on.

Guys, guys...I was not insinuating that the planking was funny. I found the fact that it was Dwight Howard planking funny. He's rich, he's famous, he's talented, he's a giant, and he's spending the day going all over town participating in a ridiculous fad. People here are crabby today.

[WeGetRing2012]

sigh..guess I have to bring some education to ish..whats new...anyway Howard is a complete coon for doing this if he had an clue about his history..planking refers to how slaves were arranged on slave ships...a Plank is also another name for the collars they wore around their necks like dogs...this is just one source...http://angilicbrat.tripod.com/id25.html

How are we supposed to move on if we hold on to our past so strongly?

Slaves also "picked" cotton. Will you never pick again?
Slaves also were "auctioned". Will you never particapate in one?
Slaves also were brought over on ships. Will never get on a ship?
Slaves also were forced to do labor. Will you never do labor again?

Get the point. Of course in the context it was used during slavery was horrible, but now its something fun to do. Dont be so uptight....
