- inactive, on 05/27/2009, -4/+33Ok why NSFW? It's a dude's face.
When you really mean it no-one will believe you. You'll be known as "the boy who cried NSFW". - Haoie, on 05/27/2009, -12/+38Tans are gross.
- neozero497, on 05/27/2009, -3/+25As a black man I've never understood the reason people want to be darker. Love the skin your in I say.
- inactive, on 05/27/2009, -0/+21GRAAAAAINS! GRAAAAINS!
- ThanatosST, on 05/27/2009, -5/+26All women need to know:
Pale skin + red hair = win - jeffmon, on 05/27/2009, -1/+22They just opened up an indoor tanning salon next to the gym here.
I live in Hawaii.
/sigh - dOOBiEx213, on 05/27/2009, -3/+20Nice try, Conan.
- apetrie, on 05/27/2009, -1/+14More like:
Natural skin tones that suit the individual > Fake - IamNomad, on 05/27/2009, -0/+12there's a difference between olive/dark and crispy!
- iDoraemon, on 05/27/2009, -8/+20I'm tanned. Born that way, too.
/pacific islander - cl2yp71c, on 05/27/2009, -0/+10Limited exposure to the sun is indeed healthy.
- Jamiekin, on 05/27/2009, -2/+12Whatever you do, don't use a tanning salon. Read Clare Oliver's heartbreaking story and final letter here.. http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,222 ...
Sure, she messed up, but it's a harsh freakn lesson to learn. I'd take fake ass look'n tan over cancer any day, - Exhibitionist, on 05/27/2009, -0/+9Just wait until Clinuvel releases their synthetic MSH "melanotan" onto the market in a year or so. Mark my words, there'll be "naturally" tanned white people from here to Timbuktu.
- buddamus, on 05/27/2009, -1/+10I hate tans, how does cooking yourself in the sun make you look healthy?
- inactive, on 05/27/2009, -0/+8Oh noes vegetarian zombies!!
Actually that wouldn't be too scary really... - midbc, on 05/27/2009, -0/+8whoa dude hit the guido in a can pretty hard
- cl2yp71c, on 05/27/2009, -0/+8Just wait till the Beauty industry tries changing the tone of your skin.
- fandyllic, on 05/27/2009, -2/+10I would be interested in seeing an article about the safety of sunless tanning products. I doubt they are regulated in any way, so asserting they are safer than natural tanning is just speculation.
However, radiation damage doesn't tend to wash off. - Chirp08, on 05/27/2009, -0/+8If you have a tan in the middle of winter and you didn't just get back from vacation you are a *****.
- yoshi8710, on 05/27/2009, -1/+8I just lost a little bit more hope for humanity.
And we had such potential... - localzuk, on 05/27/2009, -1/+8Err... No. Society's problem is people focussing too much on themselves (what in medical circles is called 'megalomania'), a lack of understanding that what affects others, and other species and other biological spheres affects them too (symbiosis) and a general obsession with things that don't actually matter (money, cars, and other shiny baubles).
What is important is dealing with widespread disease, poverty, inequality and suffering. - wigren, on 05/27/2009, -1/+8Red head, fire in bed.
- iDoraemon, on 05/27/2009, -0/+7Only in the western world. The opposite is true in Asia.
- cerablu, on 05/27/2009, -0/+7As a tattoo artist, I prefer that my clients use fake tanner over real tanning - much better for the skin and for the long term quality of tattoos. Baking your skin fades a tattoo much quicker.
However, I always pretend not to notice when I go to prep the are before tattooing and the paper towel turns orange after rubbing it on fake tanned skin. Not that I hadn't already noticed the distinctive fake tan smell. Heh. - bunnybash, on 05/27/2009, -2/+9yeah that ***** should come to Australia and make those claims, where 2/3 of our country is suffering from skin cancer of some kind...
of course we do have that hole in the ozone layer that we need to thank Japan, Korea, USA for too...
what a dumbass...
this is from his blog
"And remember that people who are regularly in the sunlight develop fewer melanomas than those who are cloistered indoors"
WTF!?!?! - basickly, on 05/27/2009, -0/+6I'm a fair skinned dude that prefers fair skinned chicks (all else being equal).
Quick survey: Does your preference for skin tone in the opposite sex match your own skin tone?
Anyway, I really REALLY don't understand everyone wanting to be tan.
Not that there's anything wrong with being tan... but what's wrong with being light skinned?
I guess it's because beauty is often depicted in beach settings?
But that's just because warm climates allow for less clothing, which makes it a good place to show off a body.
And of course people native to warm climates naturally have darker skin.
But people in cold climates are no less beautiful, they just can't show it off as easily.
Yet many people seem to have interpreted this information the wrong way. They decided that having tan skin is the epitome of beauty, simply because that's what they see the most in swimsuit magazines and on mtv spring break. But the correlation is between tan skin and beach settings/warm weather, not tan skin and beauty. - cfuse, on 05/27/2009, -1/+7No *****. If I don't go out into the sun I look like a vegetarian/corpse.
- inactive, on 05/27/2009, -3/+9Gotta look like a basketball, otherwise NONE of the guys will even approach their otherwise ridiculously hot body. Or, from the point of complete shallowness that these people exercise when tanning like this-- nobody is going to ***** you if your "natural tan" is going to be all over their body and bed the next morning.
- Zcrubby, on 05/27/2009, -5/+11Gingers have no soul!
- inactive, on 05/27/2009, -3/+9hey bateman, nice tan.
- priegog, on 05/27/2009, -0/+6Which isn't a bad thing in my opinion. The hell of a lot better than having people go to solariums to get prematurely aged just so they can get tanned.
I like my ghostly appearance anyways, so whatever. - pestriddentacos, on 05/27/2009, -5/+10I don't mind being white, knowing that my ancestors were responsible for building the western world as we know it :D
Racially charged statements aimed towards the majority ethnicity still make you a racist prick, I'm afraid. - looopy, on 05/27/2009, -0/+5"Listen," she said, "I've had plenty of people tell me that my tan is gorgeous. In the winter, they ask if I've been on a cruise or on vacation. My friends who make fun of me are just jealous they can't look this good."
self delusion at its best - banderwocky, on 05/27/2009, -0/+5Funny how tanned skin, once upon a time, implied lower social status. Now it's reversed.
- wmuldoon, on 05/27/2009, -0/+5sounds like willb's had a tan or two.
- MichaelCorleone, on 05/27/2009, -0/+5Can this article be copied and attached to every telephone pole, store window, and put on the hood of every car in Belmar, NJ? Cause that would be great. Damn BENNYs
- dazparkour, on 05/27/2009, -0/+4Sorry cl2yp71c, it's happened - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_whitening
- sTiKyt, on 05/27/2009, -0/+4I think the fact that she only got to use half of the sessions offered to her and had them done the way the tanning salon attendant suggested shows that the tanning industry doesn't take what it does seriously enough. Obviously she should have done the research and that's easy to see in retrospect but I would hardly blame her for what she did after all people see tanning being done all the time and expect that the people offering these treatments to know what they're talking about. Simply educating all tanning salon employees about the acceptable procedures and setting tougher guidelines for operating tanning salons could have avoided misleading offers like this that give people the impression that what they're doing is safe.
- pault107, on 05/27/2009, -0/+4One of my ex-colleagues had quite dark skin (of Nigerian descent) but he still liked to 'get a tan'. I never quite understood that.
- priegog, on 05/27/2009, -0/+4You know what? I'm gonna have to eat my words. Unless tanning products work differently here in Europe (I only found american sites explaining the process when I started doing research). I could have sworn that was the way it worked. I must have confused it with the new pill that's coming out that works the way I described.
But yeah apparently the chemical in question reacts with the epidermis. So either way, if whatever it's doing it does to dead skin, I'd be pretty certain it's safe. Definitely safer than the sun or solariums. - s0nicfreak, on 05/27/2009, -1/+5Don't see how it's hard to take credit for that... if you use a bulldozer to dig something up, you'd still take credit for digging it up right?
- EndouOuto, on 05/27/2009, -2/+5Tanning makes you age much faster.
- priegog, on 05/27/2009, -1/+4There are rumours that Michael Jackson's methods will be revealed to the world in his will.
- daridave, on 05/27/2009, -0/+3OK it's time to make some money. Let's write a "Tanning for dumbasses" book. who's in ???
- SpeedStix, on 05/27/2009, -0/+3What do you mean by "some white people"?
- daridave, on 05/27/2009, -1/+4It's not so bad. There is such a thing as over-doing it, though. I get some sun and, yes, some "fake" tanning because it helps me with my skin problems. I used to have acne and I have VERY oily skin; doing this helps me dry it up a bit. I have to be VERY careful not to burn myself though, or else it will be worse... but yes,there ARE some benefits if you don't do it like a dumbass. Sadly it seems there's a lot of dumb people out there.
- EricDowner, on 05/27/2009, -3/+6Tanning just makes me think, 'wow, you must be really boring.'
