Spoof "computer tan" website set up to support skin cancer charity
Apr 02
April Fool’s Day has passed but I couldn’t help but check out the spoof tan website Computertan.com.
The site claims to offer Internet users a free year-round tan delivered through their computer screens.
You don’t have to a whiz to realise that this pretty obviously a fake.
The site was actually set up two months ago to promote the work of skin cancer charity.
When clicking to access a “free-five-minute tan trial”, bars from a sun bed appear with a message warning users “Don’t be fooled – UV Exposure Can Kill”.
