Anti-Planking Act of 2011



Quezon City Rep. Winston Castelo has filed a bill called the "Anti-Planking Act of 2011," in the Philippines. As soon as the news broke, supporters of Planking took to Twitter to voice their views. It seems although planking might be dangerous, supporters don't think their needs to be a law against it. The reason why planking is being frowned upon is although it is so harmless. It has led to a death and lots of people loosing their jobs. 



Planking" The art of lying face down with your arms beside you and your legs stretched out. Is a fun activity that people do and has led to many offshoots. Like Owling Batting, Horsemaning, Batmaning, Razorbombing and stocking to name a few. 




Here is his bill:

AN ACT PRESCRIBING A UNIVERSAL CODE OF STUDENT CONDUCT WHEREBY PLANKING BY A STUDENT OR GROUP OF STUDENTS DURING STREET RALLIES OR SIMILAR PROTEST ACTIONS AS A FORM OF REDRESS OF GRIEVANCE BE STRICTLY PROHIBITED AND APPLYING APPROPRIATE SANCTIONS THEREOF.




Here are some comments from Twitter users.

The Philippines fail to pass a long over due reproductive health bill but this they introduce #Anti-Planking Act of 2011

The Anti-Planking Act of 2011 is even more useless and absurd than the act of planking itself.

Anti-Planking Act of 2011 and we don't have laws against illegal squatters and jaywalkers? No wonder our country's messed up.

The Anti-Planking act of 2011 though??? World hunger and poverty has yet to be fixed and ya'll are worried about PLANKING




These are Tweets from users in the Philippines and you can guess the sentiment.
