The only good instance of this is when people did it on a set of escalator railings which resulted in them spinning. That was fun. All other planking was stupid
I reckon stupid was the point?
I admit this is quibbling over semantics, but it was stupid when they spun on the escalator, too, but that was funny and interesting. Laying flat on things was boring and uninteresting, the joke of it being that it was boring and uninteresting, therefore infuriating to those who weren't playing along with the joke.
