A new study says that indoor tanning can be addictive. I kid you not. Researchers surveyed 400 college students about their indoor "tanning habits" and found that 30 to 40 percent were "tanning addicts." Addicts? Really?

I don't know if indoor tanning is unhealthy, I just know that I live in San Diego, and there are dozens of indoor tanning salons right here. Now, that is a real tribute to marketing. One of them is even called, "Sunny San Diego." Thats makes selling ice cubes to Eskimos look like cake. How do you sell sun in a city that’s sunny 340 days a year? Put these guys on Obama’s economic team.

There is another aspect to the tanning craze called a spray tan. This is somewhat safer, but I don’t know. It works like this. Pay 40 bucks and some gang banger tags your face for 20 minutes till you end up looking like George Hamilton.

So if you're a college student and you're worried that you might be a tanning addict, get a sponsor and remember, one day at a time. Preferably, in the shade.
