Grow Up and Get a Job

You've probably heard about "planking." It's a fad that started in Australia/New Zealand. The idea is to take a picture of someone laying face down, stiffly horizontal with your arms by your side. Do it in the most unusual place you can think of then post it to Facebook or YouTube. The world will beat a path through your door and you will be famous and in demand at all the swanky parties...or not.

Now planking has come to America and we are nothing if not the vapidity leaders of the free world. Talk about mindless:

Owling Is the New Planking

At least they aren't wasting a lot of time with books or professional development.

I doubt they have enough brain cells to control respiration.

Geeez.....If I would have done stuff like that at their age, I would've been taken away by the men in the white coats!

The depths the human race will sink to is limitless.

I think they would make real nice targets like that. As long as you get them before they breed and make the gene pool worse than it already is.

Umm I think this time we've ventured into the "crusty old coot" territory, As far back as I have studied in history teens have been doing silly thing, eating gold fish, stuffing as many people as they could into a car/jeep/phone booth, cow tipping, streaking...the list goes one and on back to the dawn of time. In this case its kids being kids, the only difference is that in the modern day its far far more visible on a much wider scale whereas in the past it was a strictly local thing. Hey at least they can use technology. :) I think the present day teens and college age kids leave a lot to be desired but in this case...I think its just the same old same old. Just my 2cents.
