We all know that days spent holed up in an office mean the chances of getting a tan are pretty remote however, how many PAs might have been tempted by ComputerTan.com??This professional-looking site promises users a “tan-tastic experience” and the chance to top up their tans from the comfort of their own desks. By a quick and easy process of calibrating your office computer’s screen you could enable the light systems in monitors to produce UV rays, complete with humming noises which shortly turn into an alarmingly sizzling noise. Of course the website is a hoax and soon users were confronted with worrying figures about the prevalence of skin cancer along with some hard-hitting images to make you think twice before skipping the sunscreen. The campaign was organised on behalf of the skin cancer charity SKcin to boost awareness about the dangers of skin cancer and saw almost 200,000 people take up the offer of a free tanning session courtesy of their own computers.
