You're Kidding.....Right??

I just read an article concerning TANNING addiction.  Say what?!? 
Seems there was a study/survey conducted by Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and the State University of New York, Albany, of 229 students.   The subsequent report stated that "...the findings suggest that there may be a subgroup of individuals who are addicted to indoor tanning and have an underlying mood disturbance.."  The report also stated that 50 of the 229 students tested, "....also had slightly higher levels of anxiety symptoms, as well as higher rates of alcohol and marijuana use..."

Just when you think you've heard it all.  Good Grief!!  Are they REALLY trying to tell us that there is a correlation between tannin' and trippin'?? (I also just learned that there is an INDOOR TANNING ASSOCIATION.)   Puh-leeeeeeease!!  An Association??  Are they for real????

OK...I'm a pretty open minded person, so let me try to see this from a different perspective.  I WILL AGREE, that tanning...religiously....could be an indication of some sort of mental disorder.  For instance....
why do so-o-o-o-o many white people think they are of a "superior race" because they are WHITE.....and then do their damnedest to tan themselves as dark as they can get???  See?  MENTAL DISORDER!!

Why do so many people get naked to tan?  They don't want "tan lines" of white skin, beneath a strap or piece of clothing that might reveal that they are really CAUCASIAN!  See?? MENTAL DISORDER!! 

And how ironic, that these extremely well tanned (half-burnt) people seem to always show up at events to raise money for CANCER RESEARCH??  Don't they know that TANNING can lead to SKIN CANCER??

See?  MENTAL DISORDER!! Now it makes sense! Case closed!
