 Lying face flat on the ground may not be the world's most glamorous photo pose but two Taiwanese "planking" women have made a name for themselves on the Internet - and hope to use the craze to spread positive social messages. Mirroring the dangerous behaviour that killed one man in Australia and left another seriously injured, Karren and Jinyu practice a safer version of the fast-growing global fad that involves lying face down. In fact, they use it to promote causes, such as planking with stray dogs to draw attention to the plight of the animals, or planking in famous tourist spots to promote travel. "It's not really that difficult to plank and I really don't mind getting dirty," said the petite Karren, who wore a Japanese manga-inspired outfit and a red backpack, in an interview, her partner nodding beside her. Calling themselves the Pujie Girls which literally translates to "falling on the street" in Mandarin, the name is also a pun on the Cantonese curse "Puk Gai" which means "may you drop dead". source: http://www.intaichung.com/news/taiwanese-g...-tourist-spots/ |

As long as others don't suffer, I think people can do as they please.

These people have a) too much time on their hands, b) less intelligent, and c) probably groupies.
