Justin Bieber loves planking, and he's posted pictures of himself doing it online to prove it. Who knew? Apparently, even the most famous teenage mega star on earth is not immune to the new bizarre phenomenon of planking. Although why anyone, rich or poor, celebrity or anonymous citizen would waste time with this childish, pointless, and often dangerous game is impossible to fathom. Of course, now that Justin Bieber has fallen victim--er--evinced an interest in this inane fad, it will probably springboard and become a national obsession. Much like the hoola-hoop back in the olden days.
For the uninitiated, Planking, aka The Lying Down Game, aka Face Downs, is a new Web craze. It's stupid, but easy to play. To plank, one has only to lie "face down in an unusual or incongruous location. The hands must touch the sides of the body, and having a photograph of the participant taken and posted on the Internet is an integral part of the game. Players compete to find the most unusual and original location in which to play. The location should also be as public as possible, and as many people as possible should be involved."
Sounds riveting, doesn't it? Unfortunately, there has already been one death attributed to the silly non-sport. An Australian man died a few weeks ago when he tried to plank on an apartment building balcony. Yikes.
Oh well, beliebers needn't worry about their idol. As you can see in the photos here, the Teen Dream doesn't seem to have placed himself in any danger. In the first photo, he's planking on an office desk. The second effort looks like it was on board a boat of some kind. With the 2 photos he posted a Tweet:
"Me and @diggy_Simmons #plankin #schwag"
Does this mean the world will soon see Justin Bieber-Selena Gomez PDA-filled planking pics in cyberspace?
Anything is possible.
