The website Tanning Disasters pokes complete fun at the overly tanned and scorchingly burnt.
Tanning Disasters is a simple site that collects pictures from the Internet and user submissions. The site says that it "aim[s] to gather photos of tanning mishaps, mistakes and outright disasters, to serve as a warning to all vanity tanners that walk that tight line of looking wonderful or being a laughing stock."
The Tanning Disasters site also has a slogan that is sure to cause a giggle: "Where Sunkissed Meets Hideous."
This site may just be the answer, though, to deterring others from going tanning and causing irreversible skin damage, as no one wants to come out looking like a lobster or be a shade that is completely unnatural.
