Did your iMac arrive a little dented? Blame it on iPlankers

Planking, for those uninitiated, is the act of laying flat and faced down with arms to the sides of the body in the strangest (and often dangerous) places and – need I say – snapping a photographic evidence of it. This latest fad has reached the Apple Store where employees have been caught planking on the job. ElectricPig discovered the amusing Apple Store Planking blog where a bunch of problematic images have been posted by Apple Store plankers. Wondering what planking right on the Genius Bar looks like?

The blog hosts a bunch of shots showing store employees planking on a row of iMac boxes, even right on the Genius Bar. One employee has been photographed planking on a single MacBook Pro box, presumably borrowed from the stockroom. Even though plankers’ faces are blurred, this doesn’t bode well for their employment. I imagine Apple’s investigative team is hard at work exposing their identities. I for one wouldn’t wanna buy a MacBook that’s been planked on, even with Consumer Reports hearting Apple’s shiny notebooks. By the way, notice the blog’s tagline: “The funnest sport ever. Now a blog. This changes everything. Again.”
