This Just In: Tanning Causes Cancer

Tanning salons have more to worry about than just being burgled. We've been wondering all week how the Wallingford Desert Sun will respond to the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer's recent decision to put tanning beds and ultraviolet radiation in the top category for cancer risk.

The feds shut down three more brothels masquerading as tanning salons, this time in Greenwood, Tukwila and Renton. They're still using that cover story? Come on, people. Now that three more "salons" have bit the dust, we're sure Seattle will move further along the journey towards restoring the shining image of tanning salons as our community's beacons of health and moral rectitude. Also, our condolences go out to the undercover investigators who risked infectious skin diseases in the name of gathering evidence for this case.
