tanTALK - View Single Post - Media Picking up Todays ITA Campaign Launch

I watched that today. Was wondering if anyone else caught it. Basically a stock dermaterrorist carrying on with The Establishment's basic message, in addition to coming right out and saying that the ITA ads were lies, and that "the research" clearly shows that UV is responsible for melanoma and other skin cancers. Shepherd Smith was obviously regurgitating whatever they spoonfed him before the segment - definitely not "fair and balanced". For instance, which research from which study proves their position again? Never seen it. Dear Mr. Berman and ITA folks: please push this particular point in the media. The Establishment can put people on TV all day that cannot produce a single study that backs up their point conclusively. Also, in addition to finally getting the truth about tanning out to the general public, could you also find a way to expose the conspiracy that has prevailed for so long that has gotten us to this point? I believe that would be helpful in combatting their counter punches.

The other thing about the segment that ****** me off was that they started off by saying the ITA says tanning is good, is that true? Then the "expert" says that too much exposure is bad and that the ITA is lying. Well, no ****! Too much arsenic is bad too, that doesn't mean that it isn't in the drinking water supplies of most major cities and is harmless in certain quantities. I don't know if it has any benefits, but you get the picture. These ads have to hit the benefits of UV exposure and how hard the tanning industry works as a whole to promote and practice responsible exposure.

One other thing I just remembered - the "expert" said that The Establishment has no idea "how much is too much" when it comes to exposure, or what the various lamps and equipment deliver. Hmmmmm? Maybe somebody ought to give the dermaterrorists the number for the friggen FDA so they could research some of these things before they just start reading scripts on national news shows?

Hit'em back Berman! Thanks for all the hard work! And thank you ITA, for stepping up to the plate, as well as all of the anonymous contributors that are helping to save this industry. Good luck out there.
