How You Can Get a Golden-Brown Computer Tan

By Cate Sevilla

Are you tired of sitting at your PC, while others are out frolicking in the sun (or snow, whatever)? Are you filled with envy when you see others in your office with that golden-brown "I've just been away on holiday and you've been stuck here like a big, pale idiot" look? 

Your're not alone, and that's why I'd like to tell you about this fantastic new product called Computer Tan.

Computer Tan does...well, it does what it says on the tin. It's a new form of technology that allows you to tan at you computer. Just watch what Hannah Yasmin has to say about it!



 

Apparently all you have to do is sit on your ass, as usual, in front of your PC, and there's some nifty tech thing that they've done that allows some sort of UV ray to radiate from your screen.

Also, I should point if you thought that I was serious and/or that this was real, you may want to rethink the way you treat you skin - or technology for that matter!

Obviously, Computer Tan is fake, as you find out about a minute into your "free trial" of Computer Tan, some rather unsettling photos of what over exposure to UV rays can do to your skin - along with a message from the Karen Clifford Skin Cancer Charity - Skcin.

People in the UK, and all over the world, to be fair, do not take overexposure to the sun seriously enough. How many times have you been sun burned because you didn't bother putting on sunscreen and acted if just wasn't a big deal. Skcin aims to raise awareness that it is a big deal, and can have some serious consequences, including death.

So, a light hearted entry into a very serious topic, but well done Skcin for catching our attention with such a clever campaign.

That's really rather brilliant - clever campaigning. I tip my hat to them and to the fellow pale-and-interesting folk.
