...As many as 60,000 people a year die from too much sun, warns the World Health Organization.

Well yeah and as many as 6 billion people a year live from the right amount sun. Dumbasses.

Ummm…Greg, about 10,000 Canadian women die of breast cancer each year. By your logic, 16 million don’t, so who gives a shit about them?

The WHO is talking about preventable deaths, here.

This is certainly the dumbest thing I have ever read on your site, where I don’t usually find dumb things.

You are making my point. This stuff is so logically preventable that it is ridiculous to report it. Like duh, stay out of the sun. We have only being doing it since the beginning of humanity. It is fear mongering and really bad fear mongering at that.

But Greg, isn’t there something the government could be doing? A giant parasol? Permanent tatooed sunscreen on every newborn?

For the common good, someone has to do something about this scourge!

Don’t they?

Everybody write your MP immediately and campaign for a Federal Sun Registry. Somehow these UV rays are making it over the border due to America’s lax UV radiation laws, and the only way we can stop it is by preventing anybody from being out in the sun at any time. Unless they pay for a permit. And notify police whenever they are changing locations in daylight hours.

Tim:

You commies! There is a free market solution for all this. All we have to do is wait for people to die, then, as their families are paying for funerals, they will realize how really expensive death is and change their behaviour accordingly.

There! I knew Adam Smith could do it.

Bravo everyone! Nicely done.
