You've heard of Planking? Well here's the next big craze. It's...

BANKING!  That's right, banking!  And it's huge, it's taking a grip all around the world.  I happen to have snapped this anonymous shady character performing banking in Rarotonga recently, and does he ever push the limits to the max!

Banking in Public - crazy!

Things start off seemingly innocent enough (above) but you will note he still has his hat on and that is a huge security risk.  Just testing the waters perhaps...?  And this where things start to get a little hairy...

  Banking at the wrong Bank, madness!

And again!  Whatever will this daredevil do next?!

As you can see from the photos above there seems to be no end to the lengths this guy will go to satisfy his thirst for cheap thrills.  I thought I'd seen it all but then things just started getting absurd!

This is where things started to get out of hand...
...and just down right dangerous.

Indiscriminate Planking has already claimed one life and with pranks like this it won't be too long before Banking does the same.  Especially when you try to combine Planking with Banking, or as it's come to be known Banking Plankers, as this guy is attempting here.  If this guy was to get caught hogging the ATM queue like this there would be pandemonium on the streets.

Despite his thrill seeking antics to date this Banking Planker has at least managed to to stay within the confines of common human deceny, but now really starts to push the envelope, as you can see below;

Banking around food is a Banking no-no!

Not content with his ground breaking and death defying stunts to date Mr $, as he has come to be known, then attempts to Bank in the local supermarket, and if you look closely at his card you will note it's the wrong bank - will the madness never end?!

And then, having seen it all, or so I thought, Mr $ then laughs in the face of authority, taunting the police with his craziest stunt to date.  It's as if he's saying "Catch me if you can Copper!"

It won't be long be total Anarchy breaks out!

Time will tell if the world is ready for such tomfoolery.  Watch this space and I'll keep you posted on the latest Banking craze!
