Stupid crime alert! Man convicted for “planking” spree

December 11, 2011 By 4 Comments

Planking.

Sounds painful.

Like spanking but with a piece of wood.

Actually it’s something rather absurd and useless but millions of people find it funny.

Apparently in Wisconsin you can get in trouble with the law if caught doing it.

A 19-year-old Wisconsin man was convicted or disorderly conduct after participating in a planking spree.

How do I explain planking?

Well….maybe just take a look at a few pictures:

Have you ever tried “planking”?  Or is it the weirdest most pointless thing ever? I think it’s funny that other people think it’s funny.

    Why is it illegal to pretend to be a piece of wood at Walmart?

    Got up to check our woodstove and couldn’t go back to sleep- after seeing these pictures. This poor halfwitted lad needs to spend a few days in a padded cell with a few shrinks examining him. Not sure if my Grandkids would be safe if left alone with him, in fact.
