Poll question: It's bad for your health but it looks so cool!
All of these things are BAD for your health, but the people who do them look so COOL.

Which looks the coolest?

1. I don't think tans look healthy AT ALL.
Just my opinion, but I think people who go tanning are nuts.

10. I actually think motorcycle helmets themselves can look cool.
See: Uma Thurman in Kill Bill or Trinity in The Matrix: Reloaded

24. Here's to Ra!
Tanners of the world unite!

BTW...did you know tanning booths are safer than tanning outdoors? Sure, they're not SAFE but they are SAFER...

25. Us tanners gotta stick together
but I'm not so sure about the tanning beds. 20 minutes in a bed is equivalent to an hour and a half in the sun. I usually don't make it that long when laying out.

3. Riding a motorcycle without a helmet is only bad for your health if
you crash, or swallow a dragon fly and choke to death.

6. These only look cool if you are 22 and attractive.

And even then, it is often a coin toss.

7. An older relative of mine used to laugh at white folks tanning.
She used to be like, "they wouldn't let us use the same bathrooms, but they're out on the beach trying to get this brown!"

It made me feel strange. :scared:

12. A genuinely happy smile
Bad for your health because everyone wants to be around you and then you can catch the flu or pneumonia or something. Or so I'm told.

26. I disagree in some cases
It does not look cool for your complexion to be darker than your hair. I really think that people with light blonde hair, whether dyed or naturual, look really silly with dark tans.
