How Justin Bieber killed planking.

Yes, that's right, most people don't know it yet, but true planking has been destroyed.  A couple days ago Justin Bieber retweeted some guy's twitpic of a really bad plank. 
First of all the man was doing it all wrong, as are 90% of the plankers out there.  His feet were not straight, as if he were standing, but instead he was just lying on a couch with his feet parallel to his legs.  His arms weren't flush at his sides, but instead his palms were up.
Second, he wasn't even doing it in an interesting or hard to get to spot.  A couch?  What kind of plank is that?
I think Bieber did this on purpose to destroy this up until recently small underground movement.

Yesterday I was in Toronto, planning a plank on a cop car, waiting for the police officer to turn around, so I could jump on quickly and take a pic.  Instead I was amazed to see that four teenage girls walked up to the policeman and asked him if they could pose on his car.  He agreed!  Then he walked away, pretending he didn't see them, while thy lied down on the trunk, holding hands and smiling at the camera... That's not planking! 
The whole idea is to make it look like you're posing for a regular picture, but instead of standing, lying down and not looking at the camera, but at the ground.  Then they were giggling, as if they did something scary, illegal or naughty.  Yeah right...  Planking has to be spontaneous and funny, not staged.  The more people looking at you surprised, the better.  If there are no people around, at least make the spot unique, dangerous, or unexpected.  That's what planking is about, not about resting somewhere after you asked permission.  Are you kidding me?  Damn you Justin Bieber!
This makes me want to give up planking for good.  It is no longer a secret, as now everyone will know what you're doing and there will be no more shocked looks on peoople's faces.  Where's the fun in doing something that's just another trend?  For all you real plankers out there, who do it for the sport, the excitement and not just because your friends are doing it, it's time to come up with something different, cooler, more extreme (but still doable for those of us who can't parkour), but this time, whatever you do, don't let Bieber know.
