Just another way of being in the spotlight, albeit for a very short time.  "look at me!!"   Not so unique now that  several million people are in on the act.  It will get you sacked from a lot of of companies, I know Woolworths has sacked at least six people, and don't forget what it rhymes with.  Just my two cents.

I was hoping someone else would ask the question but seems not.

Mind enlightening me on just what 'planking' actually is?

The notoriety comes from several less than fortunate people deciding to plank on the balcony rail.
Of their hotel suite.
On the 20th floor.

Poor balance and  Charles Darwin come to the rescue of the human gene pool >:D
