Quoted for posterity.

Wish i could think of something funny to say here, but i mustn't have a sense of humour.

...meanwhile, it seems that it also appeals to the absolutely retarded, like this bloke who tried to get out onto the boot of a fast moving sedan, fell heavily and is now in a coma, bet he is laughing his ass off now!

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/simon- ... 6058472796
PLANKING may have claimed another victim.

Simon Hallam, a plasterer from Inverell in northern NSW, was skylarking with friends on Monday night when he fell heavily from a fast-moving car.

Police said witnesses told them Mr Hallam was attempting to "plank" on the boot of a sedan moments before he fell.

He is now in an induced coma in an intensive care unit.

Inverell police said Mr Hallam was on the boot of a car in Henderson Lane, shortly before 9pm, when the accident happened.

"We have spoken today with witnesses who have reported the young man was in fact 'planking', or similar too it,'' a police spokesman said today.

Doctors at Newcastle's John Hunter Hospital have told the family they do not know if Simon will ever recover from the accident.

"They have told us it's just day-by-day, that's all we know,'' distraught father, Terry Hallam, said.

Mr Hallam said his son's accident should be a warning to others.

"You do these things to be noticed, to get attention. Well look at the attention Simon's getting from the doctors and nurses, and he doesn't even know about it,'' Mr Hallam said.

Planking attracted national headlines when Brisbane man Acton Beale fell seven storeys to his death off a balcony railing on Sunday.

Mr Hallam blamed social networking sites for the rise in competitive behaviour among young people.

"The internet and Facebook, they're just dreadful things, they encourage this sort of behaviour,'' he said.

"And young ones don't think about consequences of their actions.

"They think it's fun now so they do it, with little thought for what could happen, like this.''

With an alarming increase in the amount of injuries caused by the craze, the Ambulance Service of NSW today released a warning specifically aimed at people considering "planking".

"Don't take unnecessary risks and use common sense as serious injury may result in a "planking'' stunt that goes wrong. These stunts can also lead to hospitalisation, great embarrassment or even death,'' the statement said.

An Inverell man, 19, has been charged with dangerous driving causing grievous bodily harm, and is due to face court next monthnte.

After the second planking accident in less than a week, a new group is gaining popularity as a safer form of the "sport".

"Teapotting" asks people to strike a teapot pose, raising an arm to form a spout and bending the other to make the handle.

The trend has attracted a short but stout 2100 fans since it was created by Victorian teachers on Monday.

Mortlake College teacher, Olivia Campbell, 23, said they were now having discussions with organisers of Australia's Biggest Morning Tea, scheduled for next week, to link the latest social media craze with the cancer research fundraiser.

"We're trying to come off as a positive version of planking,'' she said.

Despite the safer teapotting message, at least one person has been snapped standing on a horse's back in the pose.
