I didn’t really understand the whole planking fad, even when it was brand new. I felt like an elderly person watching young kids at a rap show. “What are all these gol’ durn youngins doin’ with yer pants down too low and yer myoo-zac too loud!” Except in this case I’m a twentysomething thinking “ew you guys, get your faces off those bus stop benches you’re going to get sick!”

At the same time though, I didn’t understand the “planking is SO PLAYED OUT” trend either, because things are getting “played out” faster than I know that they’re played in. One second I was shocked by a person laying face down across a semi-truck cab and five minutes later everyone was like “UGH YOU ARE SO 2010.”

Now, though, I think I can join Team “Planking is Played Out,” because look:

I hereby submit that we start following the Cardinal Rule of Internet Trends: If you have to STICK YOUR FACE IN A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE DISPOSE OF HAZARDOUS WASTE FROM THEIR ANUSES, I THINK THE TREND IS OFFICIALLY DEAD.

Gross, lady planking with her face in the toilet. Just gross.
