Maryland hates the tan people

The Maryland General Assembly is getting close to passing a bill which would prohibit minors from hitting the tanning salon without the consent of their parents. Those in favor of the bill say its to protect the youth from skin cancer. Those opposed to the bill say "so what?" Senator James Brochin noted that you can also get skin cancer from "going outside without sun block."

What this really boils down to is the fact that the kids won't be able to get their bronze on during the ever important prom season. Having lived in Maryland for a small period of time, I can say this with a little authority -- them some pasty folks down there. So whatever with the skin cancer. Let the kids pretty up for prom, damn it!
