The only thing worse than being able to notice someone's self esteem issues by their provocative clothing, is to be able to notice it by the color of their skin.
While I know that SOUNDS racist, I'm not talking about race, I'm talking about actually changing ones pigmentation to feel better about themselves. A little bit can look good, for example I have heard Rihanna uses some cream to lighten her skin, and we can all agree she is a babe. I have personally dabbled with sunscreens that contain a little fake-tan solution to even my summer-skin, and I too happen to be a babe. However when one goes too far, it's just embarrassing to think they believe it looks good.
By this paragraph I'm sure you are all thinking 'she must be referring to Michael Jackson!' and while you wouldn't be entirely incorrect, I'm leaning more toward the "dark" side. Specifically the frost-bitten-carrot look.
There should be a law that states unless you live in Florida or California, you should not be orange in December. In fact, unless you live in a bucket of carotene you probably shouldn't be orange at all. I know spray-tans are safer than fake-bakes, but too much of anything is going to give you cancer. Besides, can you really tell me you think orange is a good color on you, or ANYTHING other than an actual orange?
If you look like this:

...you are tanning in the WRONG season. You are also going to wreck your skin and scare little children. Others don't envy you, they laugh at your day-glo skin against the white snow as soon as you are out of earshot. People like this are sad and more noticable than someone who starves themself to look good...anyone can be skinny, but what nationality has orange skin in the winter? Is there a country called "Stupid?" - maybe that is something that doesn't exist but should too!
So knock it off, spring-break-bound college kids. Take a step back (prefferably AWAY from the tanning salon) you self proclaimed "Jersey Shore" wannabes. And don't even bother teeny-bopper...the UV rays are getting to your brains - There is no reason you should feel good about looking like a Jolly ORANGE Giant
...unless you hang out with a crowd like this:

And if this is the case, I would have to suggest you invest in new friends!
