Planking and Darwinism.

Man plunges to his death during 'planking' attempt | News.com.au

LULZ...

Seriously, what is with the human populationa nd being amused by such idiocy? Seriously the brain poower of the younger generations has not degenerated that much?

[Lumps of cheese]

Planking??....Oh FFS
I am very old......

[Sabbath']

Bet he didnt look like a plank on the way down....

[ari666]

but he did when he got there

[naf33n]

besides this incident, planking is actually pretty funny, we learnt about it a few years ago from some irish blokes in the greek islands, they do it as a dance move and called it the "silver bullet" always gets a good laugh, more so when randoms join

99% of the time its harmless fun, the exception been this idiot

[Bravotwozero]

Like most things in life, just a bit of harmless fun then some douche takes it too far. You might not find it interesting (I don't either) but clearly many people do. Not sure I'd call it Darwinism though.

[GetToDaChopa]

I think planking should be encouraged in some families... helps with the population.

[HoZy]

there is now a facebook page honoring this bloke

The guy died doing a sport he loved, whats the issue here?

No one called peter brock an idiot for driving into a tree - its just a different sport.

Planking a sport??? Planking is about attracting attention to ones self. There is no sport in that.

Agreed...there are some classic on facebook at the moment....but as with this incident....most of the real good ones are the high risk ones. There was actually a guy arrested in Gladstone last week for planking on a cop car...

Pretending you are a flat piece of timber whilst laying on a balcony ledge proves that the real timber is that bit between your ears.

[Hangman]

I'm still laughing at the claim planking is a sport...

Harmless fun? Since when is lying like a plank of wood 7 stories up while drunk harmless fun? Clearly byt the result int he end it is hardly harmless fun. Getting your kicks out of lying like a piece of wood in stupid places hardly seems like fun to me...what happened to productive fun where you actually achieved something at the end of an activity? As I said, it really shows how the human race is suffering a case of biological devolution. Not sur ehow it isn't Darwinism...I mean, this fool allowed natural selection to take over and as such natural selection.

He died being an idiot, hardly being involved in a sport.

[cracker]

feel sorry for the guys family, but why does anyone care that much honestly? i find it amusing... kinda like when you see someones tag in some crazy location

Like I said, harmless fun until some douche goes too far!

I don't find it amusing either but plenty of people do. So who are we to say what people should find amusing? And I don't think I'd call it a sport either.

oh well, one aussie out, 2 more boat people in.

if we are lucky they will catch on to this new planking craze and plank right off the edge of the boat overboard
