I think I saw on MTV about the origin of this particular trend. Started in the US prisons as a way forthe gays to promote their availability. How does it go from that to being what it is today....talk about f'd up.

I think it's a stupid fashion. But even stupider is legislating against it.

I got the belt a few times when I went to school.

I'm all for more men dressing like dipshits.

Makes me look that much better.

Slave-ships.

While both activities share the term "planking", the two are quite dissimilar.

Plank fail.
