Does the Internet give you cancer?

By Charles-Henry Ruyant

Now it is possible to tan via your computer! That, at least, is what the new website ComputerTan claims. For the past two months this new website has attracted a large number of users (over 1.5 million) by claiming that they can magically tan you via your PC monitor.

This website has been created by McCann Erickson for Skcin Charity. Skcin is The Karen Clifford Skin Cancer Charity which was set up to bring vital information about skin cancer.

The website is composed of a few Flash pages. First you watch a marketing friendly video which explains how you can get a tan via your PC monitor. After you have access to a free trial. You click on few buttons and some UV lights turn-on on your screen.
