I think xepherys was referring to a time before a few decades ago when you were a teenager.
I'm curious as to how people dealt with sun exposure back in the days before sunscreen came around. Was skin cancer an issue for thousands of years, or just recently? Did ancient egyptians have to worry about it? Or did most of them not live long enough to have to?
I also get really pissed off about the trendy qualities of getting a tan. Natural skin tone is the best.
Going back to the orginal topic on hand- i think this lawsuit is frivolous at best, unless the lawyers have some super secret proof that sun-block doesn't help blocking harmful UV rays. I've never seen a sun block manufacture promis e that use of their product will 100% gaurantee safety from skin cancer.
