If typing this sentence won’t spike our web traffic I don’t know what will: Have you been dreaming of Sarah Palin’s tan lines? A controversy has broken out between the American Tanning Industry Association (uhm, pro-tanning) and the American Cancer Society (Debbie Downers) over the news that Sarah Palin had a tanning bed installed in the Governor’s Mansion. ATIA fired the opening salvo in the greatest press release ever this morning. I’ve bolded my favorite parts!
While partisan bloggers and the sun scare industry will use this as an opportunity to undermine Gov. Palin and demonize the indoor tanning industry, the fact is that Governor Palin’s decision to get UV light from a tanning bed positively impacts her health. “Moderate amounts of indoor tanning allow Governor Palin to experience the many health benefits that come with exposure to UV light,” said Dan Humiston, President of the Indoor Tanning Association and candidate for United States Congress (R-NY27). “Especially in dreary northern locations like Alaska, indoor tanning can help guard against wintertime depression and ward off diseases associated with vitamin D deficiency.”
They may help Palin, but they’re not winning any friends in Alaska.
