Is This The Best Planking Stunt Yet?

Planking fan: Office manage Simon Carville, 25, lay naked in the arms of a statue in Perth, Australia, in a bid to attract women

MAILONLINE - Cheeky bachelor Simon 'Spuddy' Carville has shown his naked ambition by claiming this image is the world's best pose performed as part of a dangerous internet craze. Lying face down and naked in typical 'planking' posture, he is in the arms of a female bronze statue of a diver named Eliza, which stands on a plinth 40ft from the banks of Perth's Swan River in Australia. His pose has now spread across the world online and the 25-year-old office manager is hoping that the photo will help to win him a date or two. 'I think this has gained me a fair bit of respect among people in my age group and that, of course, includes the ladies,' he said. 'Everyone is telling me it's the best plank they've ever seen. My housemates are telling me how proud they are to live with a celebrity.' He has told Western Australia's Sunday Times newspaper that he had been inundated with messages of support since the picture was published on its front page...

Well played, young Aussie, well played.  I'm not sure this is gonna get ya laid, but the entire world has now seen your backside and only time will tell.
