Amanda points out that California has found something else to ban: tanning. A special interest group of dermatologists is lobbying for a ban on tanning booths, which they say cause 1 million new cases of skin cancer each year, and 7400 deaths. The law will only ban tanning for those under 18, because the human body apparently develops some magical new resistance to cancer after you blow out 18 candles.

Let's hope they never decide to ban bikini clad women on their beaches.
