Inject a tan?? I can't believe there are people out there stupid enough to risk injecting themselves with gawd knows what for a kin tan! Can someone explain the mentality of the mental?

It's the same mentality that makes perfectly healthy and normal looking people undergo risky surgery to insert bags of saline under their chest muscles; or have fat sucked out of them by a particularly violent and painful method.

One woman has had the ends of her toes removed so her feet 'look pretty in sandals'.

No, I can't explain Geezer - but it's obvious anyone wanting to do this must be mental. ;o$

[zxyvixy]

EUGH.thats horrible.

[cazzz1975]

its todays society which models itself on unrealistic looking celebrities and assuming that everyone who meets this ideal is better than anyone else.

[LoftyLottie]

Well, I can believe it R1Geezer. Nothing surprises me any more!

Saw 3 girls getting interviewed about using it, they said they would still have the injections, think they were from rochdale,blinking idiots they will be the first to complain if they get a reaction to it!!

Some people seem to have no concept of "later in life". Just because today they feel good what does it matter that in 20 years time they may have major organ failure, their kids might be born severely disabled, or that they will have to undergo the torture of radio/chemotherapy whilst battling cancer. I laugh at anyone who argues that our society is faithless. One must have a helluva load of faith to think that it will/can not happen to them. Otherwise neither of us would smoke, drink alcohol, try drugs, eat sugar, own a microwave, buy beef, fly American Airlines, go on holidays to South America, be treated at NHS Hospital, drive a car/bike/a neighbour crazy, cross the road or generally leave the security of one�s house.

I am not defending them by no means, I�m just saying that we all at some point play with our lives, only in their case they are playing a rather large scale game and at higher stakes. And if they are stupid enough to do so then thank God for natural selection.
