If the ITA really cared.....

Why would this NOT be priority? This poster is put in all the surrounding HIGH SCHOOLS and the ITA have been notified of this and they did nothing but ask WHAT DID YOU DONATE THIS YEAR?

Re: If the ITA really cared.....

Isn't that ETS bed? If so -- they should be concerned more than the ITA IMO.

Re: If the ITA really cared.....

In the past two years I have noticed and from speaking to people around the country that highshools are really cracking down on tanning ad's in thier papers and any mention of tanning. Very troubling.

Re: If the ITA really cared.....

The ITA sucks *** as a trade organization. This is what I've been saying for the last few years on here. It doesn't matter how much money is "donated", or paid in member fees. These ***-clowns serve the vendors - period. The time, energy, and money they waste on "fighting" anti-tanning legislation (which is like trying to "fight" a DUI - you just aint ever gonna win) is ludicrous. Why would I, or any of you for that matter, "donate money to or support in any way" a failure such as the ITA? I can't think of any. What is their primary purpose? To put on trade shows and make money for themselves - period. The time has long since past for a trade organization to arise for our industry that actually has somebody else's interests as a priority rather than their own. I am surprised that the vendors/mfrs haven't created one by now. The fat dog (indoor tanning salons) that these two groups (the ITA and the vendors/mfrs) have fed on so profitably for the past several years is nothing but skin and bones. If you don't fatten up the dog with some food (indoor tanning customers), then the dog dies, and so do the parasites feeding on it. ("Parasites" is a strong word, I know - but what else would you call them?)

I'm getting tired of saying this, and I know that there are people who are tired of hearing it, but, you have to manipulate "public perception" - not beg bottomfeeding politicians to "see the light" with elegantly worded letters from hired lobbyists! There is more than enough money in this industry between the vendors/mfrs and indoor tanning salons to "get this done" - if only there was an organization that could unite these two groups. The ITA is just out to profit from uniting the buyers with the sellers, regardless of the outcome of the union - they still get their money!!! A trade organization should be dedicated to strengthening the trade, or industry they purportedly serve - and the ITA isn't dedicated to strengthening anything but their own bank account - at the expense and to the detriment of the people they pretend to care about.

Unbelievable, is all I can say about their response to Engfant in regards to his complaint. Maybe the ITA is part owner of VO Remarketing? Not fair to VO, I know, but they're on "my list" right now, too.

In conclusion, if you've made it this far, all I can say is **** the ITA and **** VO Remarketing, and **** every bottomfeeder and parasite in this industry that is feeding on the blood sweat and tears of every hardworking, honest, "doesn't deserve to get ****ed" tanning salon owner and employee. -Belvy

Re: If the ITA really cared.....

Wow -- threw out a slew of *asterick's* there Belvy -- I heard something good about them ~TheITA~ today but I am too tired (after re-lamp mania) to elaborate further.

Re: If the ITA really cared.....

Iv been looking for a way to drop my ad in the yearbook of a local school i can only hope they ban it, i could save $75 a year.

The teacher that is in charge of the book i once had a "personal relationship" with. It seems that i now have to pay $75 for that 10 minutes of her time.
