"Bald Barbie"


A group started by cancer survivors is petitioning Mattel to make a Barbie doll who is bald.  As anyone who’s ever removed her clothes knows, in a way, she already is.

If Barbie underwent chemotherapy for cancer, at least it would finally explain how she’s so skinny.

“Tanning: A Dark Tale”


The New York stale legislature will be considering a bill to ban the use of tanning beds by minors.  The bill may be redundant, since minors are already legally prohibited from smoking.

To keep their businesses accessible to those under 18, tanning salons will simply change the signs outside their stores to say “Abortion Clinic.”

The World Health organization, American medical Association and American Cancer Society all support legislation to limit or ban artificial tanning devices.  In fact, the only major organization that favors the use of these machines is Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Those supporting the ban say they are trying to save people from harm, despite the fact that it may also accidentally save cast members from Jersey Shore.
