So basically like planking, except lacking any sense of humour or social intelligence.

The movement  began after MSNBC accidenttally aired footage of the Trayvon Martin’s body during live coverage of George Zimmerman’s murder trial.  Photographs show those who think a 17 year old’s dead body is funny lying on the ground in the same position as Travyon Martin, with a packet of Skittles and iced tea.
