OMG! I LOVE IT!

I'm sitting here reading a book, with a sappy movie on in the background, and I hear this commercial come on TV about "so why are you dying for a suntan?". So I immediately hit rewind so I can watch the whole commercial (thank God for DVRs).

The commercial is pulls NO punches, and the visual is simply awesome. While the voice over talks about all the things the viewer is doing to stay healthy, it pans over what looks like a closed coffin. The coffin then opens to reveal a woman in a bikini lying in a tanning bed! The commercial then very clearly states SKIN CANCER KILLS!!! The commercial also refers people to a link on the Style Network's website for more information on skin cancer.

While melanoma isn't specifically mentioned, I absolutely LOVE that the commercial is so "in your face" with the tanning bed and that skin cancer kills. And I got an even bigger "giggle", if you will, that the commercial is on the Sty!le Network – and in prime time no less! How perfect is that?

BIG WIN!

  That's great.
  
  I also saw a good lung cancer commercial on a DVD that my son was watching. My son is a smoker and this commerical kinda got to him. He is now trying to quit. Hope the skin cancer commercial is also effective.
  
  The media is so powerful and should be used for good (bout time).
