...so it's not the low price models prostituting everyone out of business...and it's not the big players and franchisors dominating market share...

it's the Establishment. (???)

Pray tell.

Does the bubble you live in have indoor plumbing? Come on, man. Anti-tanning messages are all over the place. Put your mirror down for two seconds and turn on the news or something. ~sheesh~

sheesh??? Sounds a lot like Bruce

My question was: who has been put out of business by bad press?

I thought *****es, like you, blamed big chains with low pricing as the source of all your ills....now it's bad press?

Again, who has this 'press' put out of business?

I also forgot to mention...I think your article sucks...the paragraphs are too long, there is no methodical progression of thought, you waiver from one point to another, there is no conclusion sought after, more crap about "the Establishment", unsubstantiated claims, and it's all written in ther first person, like anyone would care about your opinion.

Who did you write it for?

Brian Oshman said he was going to give it to his son for health class...I hope he's in first grade.

My 9th grader just wrote a paper on Sunshine that puts your drivel to shame.

Are you honestly saying that the concerted effort by government and special interests to shut this industry down have not been effective? At $18.99/mo, I'm sure you don't notice a decline in customers walking through your doors, so I'm not surprised. I can't give you the names of all of the salons that have sold, closed down, are for sale now, or about to be closed down because of bad press and the low-ball chains. These are not the sole factors for the woes of these salons, either. A lot of people who have no business being in business jumped into it, undereducated, and under captialized - and failed. But don't sit there and tell me your cheap prices and bad press have not hurt the industry.

"Are you honestly saying that the concerted effort by government and special interests to shut this industry down have not been effective?"

This Industry has never been stonger than it is today...NEVER!

More salons, more tanners, bigger better players and finally a voice with Vitamin D.

"don't sit there and tell me your cheap prices ... have not hurt the industry."

This is really ignorant. When have cheap prices EVER hurt ANY Industry?

Cheaper prices are always a sign of growing healthy Industries.

You really are a dunce, aren't you?
