Owling: The New Planking?

Owling: Reddit Post Taken Way Too Seriously

While mainstream media's fuss over planking is finally dying down, Reddit has fueled a new craze: owling. Though meant as a joke, the image has spread, and the troll-cause has been taken up by several Facebookers: Owling on Facebook.

Now, mainstream media was years late to the game with planking- hey, even most of the web was unaware of the craze when it was called "the lying down game". Not this time, though: The Washington Post is right there with an owling story.

Since owling consists of crouching and... that's it, just crouching, it's pretty easy to find images of people doing it. If anyone asks, tell them that owling was invented by Sam Fisher.

By the way, despite Xzibit's assertions, planking has nothing to do with slavery. It's just people lying face-down. Really. That's all.
