I hate articles that don't have a comments section.... i don't like the article.

One thing right off they point out that we're a 5 billion dollar a year business but they neglect to point out that sunscreen is a 35 billion dollar a year business and still growing!

They claim women are the fastest growing skin cancer rates but they neglect to mention men over the age of 40 make up the majority of melanomas but frequent tanning salons the least.

Don't worry, negative press has no effect on this industry in the slightest. Let 'em talk, and pass their laws while we just keep on growing the industry and vacation for months at a time while renting out our corporate jets to the less fortunate oil industry execs that are at the mercy of Adam Smith's invisible hand. Carry on.

And women wear sunscreen every day. In their body lotion, face lotion and cosmetics. Hmmm...could there be a correlation there? Kathe

Geeze, Kathe! Don't be so conspiratorial! Chemicals are good for you! Lap'em up, in everything, and all the time! hehe
