School is a public place, and therefore the school principal has every right to send the girls home for misconduct - for the simple fact that the purpose of the stairs is not for planking. It is no difference if a student were to urinate in a canteen, or scream in a classroom. The students concerned may think that it is a matter of fun, but they forget to "do the right thing, at the right place and at the right time". Anyone supporting such behaviour is in fact supporting hooliganism, binge drinking, harassment, etc. because the social misfits are doing these for "fun".

Plankers tell of being sacked or suspended

For those bleeding hearts, if you mates, children or parents are the injured or death victims of planking, you will change your mind that planking is more than just fun. There are idiots that plank on railway tracks and busy roads. Not only the idiots will get injured, they can cause immense casualty to the occupants in the trains or cars.

There is every reason why employees planking at workplace should be sacked. Under the OHS Acts, "all workers have a duty of care to ensure that they work in a manner that is not harmful to their own health and safety and the health and safety of others". If plankers are not sacked, and got injured during planking at workplace, I can bet my bottom dollars that they will sue the company for unsafe workplace for staff recreation. One must also note that a workplace can be an aircraft cockpit. Will you accept to let the pilot to plank while flying the plane, or the air hostess to do it for fun?

The most disgusting thing that have been happening is that well-known radio and television presenters have somehow join the bandwagon, intentionally or unintentionally, promoting such socially irresponsible, idiotic pastime. They should be ashamed of what they have done, and make a public apology for their less than mindless "endorsement".

Planking - the craze of today. It is the top item in a bucket list.

Choose the most comfortable position and the most exciting place to practise. Without practice, you won't be able to write in your will how you want to be placed in your coffin when you kick the bucket or fall from the 7th floor like the pioneer from Queensland.

Don't wait, do it now. Practice makes perfect!
