Forget Planking, The Next Stupid Photo Trend Is “Scarlett Johanssoning” Dan Koelsch, September 21, 2011 Earlier this year, a fad called “planking” took the Internet by storm.

The poses, especially one where Johansson takes a photo of her backside through a mirror, were unique enough to create a trend like planking where people try to mimic the pose. A website and Facebook page have been created, and at least dozens of entries have already been posted. Most are NSFW, but below are some of the safe ones that might give you a chuckle.
