It's all fun and games until some Australian guy falls to his death from a 7th-floor balcony while having his picture taken.
Following the "really tragic" demise of of Acton Beale, 20, Australian prime minister Julia Gillard attempted to call an end to the latest Facebook craze Down Under, "planking" — the apparently super-fun practice of having one's photo snapped while lying board-stiff in an awkward location, for the purpose of uploading that photo on Facebook.
"There's a difference between a harmless bit of fun done somewhere that's really safe and taking a risk with your life,'' Gillard told reporters on Sunday.
"Everybody likes a bit of fun, but focus has to be on keeping yourself safe first.''
Yeah, good luck with that, sister.
