Well check this out. I came across this link today via the wellness_guide Twitter Page. Check it out.

Remember, abdominal training should be FUNCTIONAL! And why on earth would we choose an exercise that not only is NOT functional, but also stresses our neck musculature in addition to putting so much compression on the spine??? Just my opinion.
