|  Film student's comedy burns tanning industry Film student's comedy burns tanning industry The Canadian Press November 16, 2007 at 3:45 AM EST BRANTFORD, ONT. — Angry reaction from the tanning industry forced a film student from Brantford to cancel plans Thursday to shoot a comedy about a fictional illness dubbed tanorexia. Sarah Evans, a York University film major, had arranged to shoot portions of her short film “Stand 'N' Tan” at Michelle O'Brien's salon in Brantford. However, film plans were scrapped after O'Brien received a flurry of angry and concerned telephone calls other tanning operators and even from the B.C.-based Joint Canadian Tanning Association. Callers expressed dismay that tanning may be cast in an unflattering light in Evans's film. Evans was taken aback by the backlash over her film about a woman's addiction to excessive tanning. She says it was blown way out of proportion. The film “is a fantasy,” Evans said “It would never happen.” Source |

If I were her, it would make me want to do the film even more! It is not that big a deal. How many thousands of news stories do we see on fat Americans over-eating? I'd be more concerned about shutting down free speech than I am with a negative take on tanning. It would not have been that big a deal. Silly Canadians. __________________ TonyG  |

What ticked off us Canadians, is that she was going to use makeup to show people being blistered and burnt from tanning. |
