Anti-Planking Act of 2011: End of Planking in the Philippines?

to who ever made this stupid law: WTF!?! this is not helpful or fruitful in anyway and i think this is stupid, the congress and government should focus more one important matters rather than this just making yourself look more stupid and annoying to the public,this news report is indeed informal on how you guys make stupid decisions.if this not lead to a better economy then screw you guys can't do a decent job.and i don't respect this at all.you're becoming popular by looking stupid, mad props to you. -_-

Will this bill reduce the poverty rate? Reduce the traffic in some parts of Manila? Reduce the corruption? Will this help increase the GDP? Or maybe...... reduce the unemployment rate? Hmm..

this is garbage!!!!

The entire world just made a massive facepalm.

Hahaha I love how such a silly thing as planking is now a big issue.
I still have to see people planking in Spain, tho.

Interesting, but not entirely ridiculous. Facts are, improper planking can be seriously bad.

Thank you all for your comments. It's nice to see a range of opinions about this. :)

this article is a load of B.S!! I love planking!! I Wanna Recount on the Votes! B.S

Marc - Someone ought to tell New Model Army to re-release their classic song, 'Green and Grey'. This seems like a great moment to introduce it to a whole new generation!

Guest - If you are from the Philippines, then this might be a great moment to write to your Congress representative and let your views be heard. :)

Could this law be a result of several deaths from planking? Those who died this way should get a Darwin award, Darwin Awards are given to those who kill themselves doing stupid things and all of those who have died from planking fit the Darwin Award protfile, they have all been....MALE as for every 100 people who get them, 95 have been MALES And one wonders why even though I am a male, I think there is more then enough evidence to conclude that women are far superior to us males.

"And one wonders why even though I am a male, I think there is more then enough evidence to conclude that women are far superior to us males."

I too am a male and I do have to agree with this comment 100%. Women are far superior to males and although they have been surpassing us males in almost every area for a few decades, they are picking up speed and leaving us further in the dust. The Darwin Awards is just one of a few thousand ways that show womem are far superior to males.

The thought that males are superior has been a con job since the start of history.

"The Natural Superiority of Women" is a good book that shows solid evidence that women are the superior gender. It starts by showing that every human starts out female but it goes on to say that at one certain stage of development something "goes horribly wrong" and some of us (myself included) end up to be male. In short, we males are a mutation of a female. (Seldom is a mutation good)

One comment stated that the last update of this book was in 1999 and since than a lot more has been learned.

Recently there have been several news items regarding this. Some say males will disappear totally. Others say we will still be around but not really needed. Before machines were invented, males were needed for their muscles for physical work. Now that machines can do all of that, males are not needed as much as we once were.

Now there is a book that can fill in that 21 year gap.

"Man Down" by Dan Abrams

Proof Beyond a Reasonable Doubt That Women Are Better Cops, Drivers, Gamblers, Spies, World Leaders, Beer Tasters, Hedge Fund Managers, and Just About Everything Else

Someone said that now that women are getting an equal chance, women are surpassing males in almost every area. This is what Abrams said is the reason for this book.

"There’s a lot more evidence now. A lot of the studies from the book are from the last three years. It’s only been in the last twenty or so years, that women have been on a relatively even playing field in terms of work to do many of these studies. We weren’t able to make fair comparisons before, because women were a fraction of the working world. Now we’re see women taking over the majority in many professions. But only recently has there been enough time to look back to compare men versus women and only recently has there been real interest."

Abrams said a vast majority of lead researchers are male, but the broad trend trackers are women. so it may be that males are beginning to wake up and smell the roses that male superiority is history. Actually, males never were superior as women have always been superior to males.

Women have a better sense of smell, taste, and new research is suggesting the fact that women tend to endure pain more makes them more immune to it. It’s the old aphorism, “That which doesn’t kill me makes me stronger.” Women survive injury better than males do and 77% of those who die in traffic accidents are male. Women have 34 more nerve fibers per square centimeter of facial skin, while men have an average of 17. This brings up sexual pleasure. Women have hundreds of times more nerve endings in their vagina than males have in their penis and as a result a male's orgasm pales to a woman's. A woman feels it in all of her body for several moments and it can be repeated many times in a short time. A male's orgasm consists of a few throbs of his penis and it is over in usually much less than a minute. He usually cannot have another one for several hours. Someone said that it is like Niagara Falls for women, a dripping faucet (no pun intended) for males.

Women live an average of five years longer than men. The reasons for this are both genetic and behavior-based. First of all, women have stronger immune systems, again due to estrogen which aids the fight against disease-inducing enzymes. But women are also less likely to engage in risky behavior. Almost all of the Darwin Award winners are male. Usually 9 or more males kill themselves for each woman who does to get this award.

Women make better doctors. While forty percent of doctors are women, 80 percent of those under investigation for medical misconduct or incompetence are male. In the U.S., there were similar findings. Male physicians were twice as likely to be sued as women


He does list things males are better at: Males are better at parking, they’re better dieters, they have better distance vision, and they read maps better. Males do have larger muscles, so they tend to be better at some sports but women far excel males in endurance sports.

A woman's body can more efficiently process oxygen. When it comes to ultra-marathons—say, a 135 mile race without sleep—women can beat men. Remember the first male that ran a marathon died and when we read about someone dying while playing sports or running a race, it is far more likely it will be a male.

When looking at sex change operations, we will notice that a few hundred males want to become women for every woman who wants to become a male. Still these males would not become members of the superior gender as their DNA would still be male thus keeping them inferior to women.

Even in combat, women are better sharp shooters and if the battle of the sexes every turned into a real war, we males would not have a chance. All the males would all be dead while 3/4 or more women remained alive and unharmed.

It is a given that males need women far more than women need males but lets count our lucky stars that most women still want us around.

With Montagu's book, I use to think women had a 80 out of 100 advantage over us males. With his last update in 1999 I raised that to 85 to 100. Now with this new book, it looks like women have a 95 to 100 advantage over males and if it keeps up since women have grown so much in the last 20 to 30 years, soon they will have total advantage over anyone that has the misfortune of being born with testicles. From what I see around me, I too am glad women are the SUPERIOR gender and MALES are the inferior one.

I appreciate the comments that women are the superior sex but women are greatly undervalued in every country. YES society has accepted the greatest con in history that males are the superior gender when in fact women are far superior to us males. Yes it is correct that over all, 105 males are born for every 100 girls because males are the weaker sex at every age. Some researches even indicate 150 males are concieved for there to be 105 males born because this male weakness starts in the womb which indicates that most of the miscarriages would have been male.

The Wall Street Journal has an article called "The War on Girls" It points out that since 1970 over 163 million girls have been aborted by parents seeking sons. Why anyone would want to abort someone that would be far superior to a male is beyond me.
It goes on to say "In nature, 105 boys are born for every 100 girls. This ratio is biologically ironclad. Between 104 and 106 is the normal range, and that's as far as the natural window goes. Any other number is the result of unnatural events.

Yet today in India there are 112 boys born for every 100 girls. In China, the number is 121—though plenty of Chinese towns are over the 150 mark."

The author states that "such imbalances are portents of Very Bad Things to come. "Historically, societies in which men substantially outnumber women are not nice places to live," she writes. "Often they are unstable. Sometimes they are violent."


Should it be any surprise? The more MALES we have, the worse society becomes? Maybe The S.C.U.M. Manifesto by Valerie Jean Solanas is right. Maybe the best way to cure our problems is to eliminate at least half of the MALE population! After all, if we have a barrel of apples, we do not throw the good apples out to get rid of the rotten ones and in humans, the rotten apples are far more often the MALES. Yes, sometimes we have to throw out some good ones to get all the bad ones but as long as they have testicles, that is fine with me. At least it will be safe for all women and girls since half of the males will be gone. And some wonder why many of us know that women are the superior sex and we males are by far the inferior sex.

One thing we know from this article (War on girls) is that there are fewer wars and much less violence when there are far fewer males then women. Would that not tell us the problem is not because of women but because of those who are inferior to women because they have a a PENIS and TESTICLES and the MALE brain that goes with them

I agree that women are undervalued almost everywhere. The Natural Superiority of Women
sounds like a very good book to teach in every school in the nation but too bad it could not be updated. There is also a major lack of articles on Suite101 that deal with this subject so it was refreshing to see an article that does mention it and coming from other males on top of that. (Perhaps Jo could write about this subject. She sure would have a lot to write about if she includes all the way women are superior to males.)


One site on Suite101 tells about a 12 year old girl who was executed. Someone there said: "The people who hung this young girl should have been hung themselves"

I agree but since I am sure it was males who did this, I will be far more blunt and say those who hung this girl should have been stripped naked and hung by their balls in a public area and encourage all the women and girls to attend to show them what happens to males who abuse women or girls. In fact, I am so tired of males abusing women that I think we should take a lesson from the cattle industry. They castrate bulls to make them calm so perhaps the answer to so much violence in the world (almost all of which is done by males) is to well, cut their balls off on the 3rd conviction for a violent offense. If they were violent to women, they should be stripped and have their balls cut off in public with women doing it. If they raped a woman or girl, the prick should have his nuts should be crushed slowly one at a time by several women. This would show girls that women are valued and it would tell boys watching to keep their cocks in their pants

"to who ever made this stupid law: WTF!?! "

Someone has to protect the males from themselves. LOL it seems that if males are not killing themselves doing stupid things, they are busy killing each other. No wonder males do not live as long as we do.

"Someone has to protect the males from themselves."

LOL. Several years ago, I remember that someone in Indiana somewhere tried to do just this Since most of a males problems stem from high testosterone, which of course comes from a male's testicles, he cut the balls of about a dozen males (I think he had cut his own nuts off earlier) Like that one guest said about cutting the balls of bulls to keep them calm, he may have thought about that too.

I did see a tee-shirt that said "I do stupid things" It should have said "I am MALE , I do stupid things" as the one guest is right also, it is almost all males who get Darwin Awards. I guess the researchers who said we all start out as female but something goes horribly WRONG and some end up as a male is right. If something has to go wrong and horribly wrong at that to be a male, we sure would know that males are inferior to women. Why is it that society can't accept the facts that women are superior to the males? It seems several here have accepted it. Why not everyone?

I did see a tee-shirt that said "I do stupid things" It should have said "I am MALE , I do stupid things"

Hey males have a right to do stupid things. Although we all have heard that males use the brain in their dicks more then the one in the head, I think their brain is a bit lower. We know brains have a left side and a right side so I think the male brain is in their balls. Then you have a right and a left brain too. Besides, a testicle looks more like a brain than the head of a cock.
