planking

Is Jeremy Lin's elaborate, six-step handshake really a meme in the vein of planking or Tebowing?

For no known reason a gentleman stopped traffic in Times Square for nearly two hours today when he climbed atop a lamppost.

We still don't totally get planking, but it seems like a silly, fun game to us. Not so to one area man, who has started a campaign-of-one to stamp out the trend in NYC.
