Me, I'm neither. And never will be. I should hope you're the same.
Everyone's seen this new 'craze' sweeping the globe and clogging up my twitter stream - Planking and Owling.
I'm not going to soil this blog by posting pictures of either activity here - I'd rather post pictures of a certain female former minister for health dressed in her birthday suit - but if you don't know what they are a quick google image search will show you everything you need to know about this moronic activity.
Seriously, is this what we've become? I just don't get it. How or when did this become accepted as something that we not only tolerate but that we actually encourage people to do, and then look at their stupid photos afterwards?
We are (supposedly) an incredibly advanced race, capable of amazing and wondrous things. We've been to outer space and to the bottom of oceans. We've created the internet, a mindblowingly powerful communication tool.
And what do we use it for? To post photos of people lying on random objects and squatting as if they're about to poop on top of a chair/table/person/wherever the hell you think it's funny.
I despair, I really do.
Thankfully karma can be a bitch, and has a great way of righting some of the wrongs that these planks and owls have inflicted upon us.
I have no sympathy for this girl. But I do owe her a huge thanks, she made me laugh almost as much as the weird clown girl dancing to Beyonce.
Please be sure to share and more videos of spectacular planking fails.
Apologies for the amount of anger and vitriol in this post but it's Monday, I'll cheer up soon, I promise.
Right, I'm off to curl up in a ball and lie on a lit barbecue, I think it could catch on.
