Over 30,000 Fall for Monitor Tanning Ad

http://www.vnunet.com/vnunet/news/2235906/fall-computertan-scam

Over 30,000 people have signed up to a web site offering to let them pick up a tan from their computer monitor without realising that it was a marketing ploy to publicise a skin cancer charity.
promised to transform computer monitors into UV sunlamps so that users could get glowing tans while they work.
