Hey, remember planking? Of course not. Same with owling and horsemaning. It’s sad those are things I can type in a context that, to you and me, makes sense. The internet, a small portion of it, likes to pretend these are huge trends and then 50 people take pictures thus confirming to everyone else it must be a thing, because if 50 people did it, that’s like half the internet, which stats tell us is comprised of everyone on Earth. So half the Earth has done planking. Or played it. Or initiated it. Or whatever the right word is. But planking has now been replaced but a much cooler ‘ing’ which includes nudity, thus making it superior.

If you forgot, Scarlett Johansson got naked at some point and documented the occasion with her camera; because all celebs love taking nude pics. In honor of this, other ladies around the web have been copying her pose, as have a few dudes (including Rob Delaney in our header, who took his pic before Scarlett did, thus making him a true trend setter). Let’s enjoy this trend while it lasts. For a few days. And let’s also check out some pics that ARE NOT ScarlettJohanssoning.
