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.

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