PLANKING 'SO STUPID' Published Dec. 7, 2011 By Belinda Miles Via e-mail -- I don't get the whole planking thing (reference "Tales of the Strange" article titled "Life Claimed by Internet 'Planking' Craze," September/October 2011 issue, page 6). It's so stupid. No wonder people who participate are adding a danger factor ... the whole thing is so boring otherwise. Well, as the Darwin Awards would say, it's just another way to cull out the less intelligent members of the "herd."
