Get a tan through a screen? Not quite

It takes all sorts, really. Thousands of Britons have fallen for a web campaign that promises to tan their face through the screen, reports the Sun. ComputerTan (no prizes for guessing it was set up in California) claimed a technology breakthrough had discovered a way of releasing "a lower, more prolonged dose of pure UVB, encouraging the production of vitamin D and creating a deeper, longer-lasting natural tan". When they click through, the site displays a shot of tanning tubes ... before flashing through to the real destination - a campaign to educate the public about the horrors of skin cancer. Ah, nicely done.
